MEOPHAM U3A began in 2015. The very first public meeting in April attracted a large turnout here it was decided that this branch should be created. Shortly afterwards a Steering Committee of 12 volunteers was formed, which worked hard to get everything up and running in a remarkably short time! Our working constitution was signed off on May 13th 2015. The INAUGURAL MEETING took place on 14th July 2015 & around 450 members have since been enrolled! Members formally adopted our constitution at the 1st AGM on 12th July 2016. Following changes to the National U3A's Constitution, ours was revised at an EGM in 2017 (See Constitution 2018). After applying for charitable status, we became a charity in our own right from April 2018 with the Registered Charity Number 1177639.
