SciTech Group Programme

Lyme Regis u3a Science & Technology Group (SciTech) is open to all members of Lyme Regis u3a. You don't need to be a rocket scientist - or any type of scientist for that matter.

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 Halls, 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!
