Welcome!

Around Chesham by Lalage Smyth, former member of the Photography with Digital Imaging Group

Welcome to the website of Chess Valley u3a

Operating in and around Chesham in Buckinghamshire, we offer a wide range of activities for those in their ‘third age’, when they are no longer working full time and are able to pursue other interests.

Our members take part in activities ranging from Art to Wildlife, with books, dinghy sailing, French, history and a lot more in between.

Our monthly talk on Thursday 10th July features Neil Sadler with Clink! Which country has a quarter of all the world's prisoners? Who were the three real men who escaped from Alcatraz? Did George Best ever play for the HM Prison Ford football team? All this and more will be covered by Neil Sadler, a former police officer who visited many UK prisons and met some 'colourful' characters. Their stories may surprise you and Neil will guide you into (and luckily out of) a few well-known prisons.

The venue for this meeting is the Broadway Baptist Church in Chesham Broadway, which is wheelchair-accessible and equipped with a hearing loop. The talk starts at 2pm.

If you are not currently a member of Chess Valley u3a and would like to sample a monthly talk and learn more about us, please come along and you will receive a warm welcome.

Best wishes

James
