Group news
The Creative Writing Group is looking for new members. It is small, friendly and uncompetitive. It is open to anybody who loves words and writing in all its forms. Everyone in the group has their own way of writing short stories, poems etc. Support and encouragement is given to anyone who wants to explore ideas. The emphasis is on having fun.
For more information contact the Creative Writing group leader. The group meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 2pm.
We are a small but friendly u3a, and our membership is growing. We now have 200 members. New Milton u3a was formed in 2011 to bring together a group of people seeking to make new friends, enjoy learning and sharing new skills and pastimes in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No previous knowledge is expected and learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive.

| Attend monthly talk, free of charge | These are held on the 4th Thursday of each month (except August and December) at 2pm at New Milton Memorial Centre, Whitefield Road, New Milton BH25 6DE. We have a speaker, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to meet and chat with others. |
