Monthly social mornings with guest speakers

Venue and Time:
Social mornings are typically held at 10:00 on the 3rd Friday of the month and take place at Elm Bank Banqueting Suite in Eccles (no booking required).
There is a charge of £2 on the door as a contribution to room hire, refreshments and speaker fees.
Our social mornings are supported by Salford City Council Community Committee.
Our social mornings are extremely popular and allow members to have a discussion together with a cup of tea or coffee and to listen to a variety of guest speakers, to air your views and for the committee and convenors to pass relevant information to members. Prospective members are most welcome. For more information about any of the speakers below, please email speakers@salfordu3a.com.
