Coffee/tea from 10:00, talk starts at 10:30. We meet between late September and Easter.
Venue: Redland Church Halls

This group normally meets in St Marys Church Rooms, Stoke Bishop and we expect to return there once a building project is completed, expected next year.

The Convener is Helen Moss

David Ploss manages our register and is the contact for all membership matters.  

David Norris  is the group leader and arranges the programme. He would welcome hearing from anyone who might possibly volunteer to give a talk in a future season.

Fortnightly on Friday mornings, alternating with Art History  We do not meet during the summer and the first meeting of the 2026-27 season will be on September 25th.

Members of the group (or sometimes of another u3a group) give talks on art of interest to them, always well illustrated on our screen. There is a wide variety of subjects, often allowing us to discover artists we may never have heard of before and to come to like works we might previously have thought uninteresting.
