On the 3rd Monday of each month there is a Roding Valley u3a wide meeting with an invited speaker for about an hour. The meeting is free to members. It is at Theydon Bois Village Hall and is open to everyone. The doors open at 9.30 am. There is no need to book. The meeting itself starts at 10.00am. Refreshments are always available before the meeting when there is also an opportunity to chat to other members, sign up for new groups, and book social events and outings. The talks are varied and are chosen to reflect different tastes and interests.
