Meeting Venue & Times

Purbeck U3A Science & Technology group has indoor meetings once a month in the Main Hall at Harman’s Cross Village Halls - see our location maps below.

Parking at Harman’s Cross is FREE for U3A Members.

Our regular meetings, which start at 10:00am and end at midday, are held on the Third Wednesday of each month.

We request that you aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the advertised presentation start time in order that entrance formalities can be completed by all members in time without delaying the start of the talk itself, usually at about 10:20.

There is a small entrance charge (currently £2.00) to cover refreshments which are available from 09:50 until the start of the presentation at 10:20. Adhesive name labels are usually provided and may be collected at the time of signing in.  You may be asked to give your current Purbeck U3A Membership Number on arrival.

From time to time, and especially in the summer months, visits are arranged to local places of scientific or technological interest. These visits incur extra charges which will be notified beforehand.

Especially members who normally walked to our previous Wareham venue
Harman’s Cross Village Hall has many advantages over our previous venue in Wareham:

It is more central in Purbeck, which is better for most members

It has an excellent car park – Free of charge for U3A members

It has better technical facilities, including digital projection and good broadband speed

It has excellent catering and environmental (eg air conditioning) facilities

Purbeck U3A benefits from a considerably reduced hire charge
