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)

Novembers meeting featured a talk from Vanessa Johnson, on the pitfalls of investing and being scam aware. Many thanks to Vanessa for providing such a useful insight into what to look out for when buying financial products or engaging a financial adviser, and for stepping up at the last minute.
Happy New Year Everyone....
Our next Meeting Points is on Thursday January 23rd and will include a talk from Stephen Roman, on the East India Company. The talk covers an important year in the history of the East India Company -1776- and the events which nearly destroyed it in that year. It is based on original research Stephen carried out both in the India Office Library in London and in the Chennai State Archives.
