Brecon’s u3a (University of the Third Age) launches its new term on Thursday, September 11, with a morning talk by Rob Hughes of the Talgarth Historical Society.

Hughes will explore the people and events surrounding the Napoleonic Wars.

In the afternoon, Special Interest Groups run as usual, including “Philosophy” and “Science Questions Answered” in the Studio, and “Family History” upstairs in the Meeting Room.

Members are invited to gather from 9:30am at Theatr Brycheiniog for coffee and a chance to catch up before the day’s sessions. Membership for the year is £35, with a £2 weekly fee to cover the cost of the venue. Visitors are welcome to try out the u3a for two weeks for the same £2 fee.
