Social Outings

Convener

Melanie Hughes

There will be several outings a year which usually involve a visit by coach to various places of interest. Details will be posted here, as and when trips are organised.

Some visits involve a certain amount of walking. Members who wish to go on a trip but require assistance may bring a family member or companion who is not a member of Monmouth u3a.

Please contact the convener for further information.
