The regular Monthly Meetings are an important part of the Liphook u3a programme. Held at the Millennium Centre on the first Monday of each month (or second if the first is a bank holiday) at 2pm, they invariably attract a large audience. The refreshment break afterwards helps make the Meeting a valued social occasion.
The cost is £3.00 for members and for non-members £4.00.
