Welcome to the Family and Social History group.
The prerequisite for attending our gatherings will be membership of Knutsford & District u3a – see the Membership page.
Meetings will be held on the second Friday of the month in the Knutsford Methodist church, in the Main Hall of the church. The meetings start at 2pm., duration 1 hour.
To cover the cost of hiring the room, there is a modest cost for attending: £2.00 per person.
On behalf of the group’s members, I would like to thank Margaret Gott and Karen Oakes for becoming the new Meet and Greet team, the former to allow folks in, the latter to relieve them of their entry fee. These positions are much sought after, so other members are welcome to share these enjoyable responsibilities.
