Around the Area - Otley |
Go with
The idea is to create a group of u3a friends around Otley who would like to support each other by sharing experiences and activities. No need ever again to be put off going to the theatre or the cinema because you don’t want to go on your own. Interested but live too far from Otley? Enquire anyway and we could look into starting groups in other areas too.
Please email chair@ilkleyu3a.org and we’ll see if there’s enough interest to proceed.
Drop In's at Otley Town Council's 'The Core', Orchard Gate

Coffee and chat

We have reserved the foyer space at Otley Courthouse, Courthouse St, LS21 3AN. The cafe now has a super dooper coffee machine. It's accessible, there's parking nearby and it's a short walk from the bus station. We'd love to see you, whether you're currently a member or thinking about joining.
