The tour begins at 2pm and will be followed by afternoon tea in the Ballroom. The cost is £34.00 per person and numbers are limited to 30. Please let us know when booking of any dietary requirements. We have to give Goodwood the final numbers in our group by the first week in July, so please make your booking as soon as possible. Please book here and follow the instructions for online payment, ensuring that you use the correct u3a event reference on your payment: GOO (our treasurer has a sense of humour).

Groups Notices
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
World of Books Group
Do you love to read? This book group is different to any other. We pick a country then members will read a book about that country or by an author from that country; it can be fiction, fact, poetry or anything. We then meet on the last Friday of the month to discuss what we have read. It’s a great group to be part of. We currently have a vacancy, so get in touch with the Groups Team if you want to know more, or visit our table at the July coffee morning. |
Pickleball Group
| Pickleball starts on Tuesday 18th June. We are very lucky that an expert player has kindly volunteered to teach us on that first session. Do come along and give it a try – no commitment: Westgate Leisure Centre 2.00-4.00pm £4.50 – please pay reception on entry Bats provided Free car parking If you want to know more, please contact the Groups Team. |
