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 next Monthly Talk on Thursday 11th September features historian Richard Marks with Women in World War Two. Richard examines how women contributed to Britain's armed forces during WW2,exploring their roles and responsibilities in the RAF, the Royal Navy and the Army, as well as the medical services associated with them. Richard also reveals how women from many parts of the world participated in Britain's military efforts. Questions addressed include what kinds of roles women performed in the armed forces and why were they so vital, as well as did they face combat situations and, if so, where and how.

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
