Welcome!

Around Chesham by Lalage Smyth, member of the Photography and Digital Imaging Groups

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 is on Thursday 10th October, starting at 2pm when Paul Barwick will present The White House Mouse (Nancy Wake): A Truly Remarkable Spy. This is the story of the inspirational World War Two spy Nancy Wake, an amazing woman who lived daily with the threat of torture and death at the hands of the Gestapo. Her incredible courage and strength of purpose is an awe-inspiring tale as we follow her exploits as an agent of the famous Special Operations Executive in occupied France. Paul will explore a life lived to the full and salute her tremendous bravery.

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

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
