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)

• Our March meeting featured a talk from Nicky Griffin and provided an interesting insight into"The Bankes family of Kingston Lacy"
  Our next Meeting Points is on Thursday April 24^th and will include a talk from Brittany Maxted on the Osprey reintroduction to Poole Harbour.
  Brittany is the Species Recovery Coordinator for local charity Birds of Poole Harbour. From 2017-2021 she led their project to reintroduce Ospreys to Southern England with the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation, and she now oversees monitoring of the growing Osprey population alongside much of the charity's other conservation work. She is also part-time a PhD student at Bournemouth University studying the population ecology of Ospreys in Scotland.
  Her talk will focus on the history of Ospreys in Dorset and further afield, the methods involved in translocating Ospreys, and the exciting results of the project so far.
