Meeting Points is the monthly meeting for all members of Purbeck U3A. 

​

Our meetings are held in the Harman's Cross Village Hall on the fourth Thursday of the month (except July, August and December). We have an exciting line up of speakers for you to enjoy in 2024/25 (please see below).

The meetings start at 10.00am with refreshments (doors open 9:45am) and include a talk, PU3A updates and news at around 10.20am.

​This is an opportunity to meet your committee members, socialise with other PU3A members and be entertained by our visiting speakers.

New members are especially welcome – just let us know at the door that it is your first visit and we’ll help with introductions.

There is a small charge for attending these events (members £2 / guests £3)

• January's meeting featured a talk from Stephen Roman, on the East India Company. Our audience were fascinated by the power and influence that the company exerted, particularly the fact that they had an army larger than Englands! Once again an excellent presentation from Stephen.
  
  Our next Meeting Points is on Thursday February 27^th and will include a talk from Lyn Colman, entitled "Looking inside to be heard outside", on her work as a prison monitor. 
  The talk will explore her time on the inside as a member of the public appointed to monitor those detained in prison. It will cover aspects of what the role entails and how she spent her time as a volunteer in prison.
  Lyn trained as a nurse, became a nurse teacher following additional study and was also a magistrate for many years. 

  We are delighted to welcome Lyn to Meeting Points and look forward to an interesting presentation.
