The group focuses on issues affecting the Environment and Technological developments that will affect our lives today or in the future. Our programme includes talks on subjects and visits to places of interest.

No special knowledge needed, only your interest and enthusiasm

Neighbouring U3A members are welcome to join the group by becoming an Associate Member of Havant U3A @ £12:00 per year (except Emsworth and District U3A who do not need to apply for Associate Membership).

We usually start with a member presentation on a topic followed by general discussion. Group members are encouraged to Google the topic in advance and come with questions and a point of view.

New members welcome.

A Risk Assessment is available for this group on request from the Secretary (click on this link to send a message).
