SciTech Group Programme

Lyme Regis u3a Science & Technology Group is open to all members of Lyme Regis u3a. If you aren't yet a member, come anyway and we'll help you join.
​We meet ten times a year, each 3rd Friday except August and December, at the Woodmead Hall, 10:00 - 12:00
Talks are given by members on a huge range of topics in pure and applied sciences, engineering and medicine. Please bring a £1 contribution towards our costs!

Our Programme, right, was run online for two years until Feb/March 2022.
On April 22nd 2022 we went back to in-person meetings at the Woodmead Hall. We are using the large hall so we can space out and have plenty of air, so the cost per visit will need to go up, sadly, to £1 as the larger hall is more expensive to hire. Still excellent value though!
We aren't doing tea and coffee for now, though that could change.
