The Social Committee try to offer a choice of social outings most months throughout the year.
These outings are open to all Chester u3a members. Your membership will be checked. Visitors are sometimes allowed on visits but check with the Social Committee first.
Booking - Trips are advertised in the Chester Times, by email, and on the website. Booking details vary but are included in the details for each trip. Enquiries are made by sending a message to the Social Team or to speaking to one of the Social Team at the Thursday Monthly meeting.

Guidelines for members partaking in the social activities.
The main purpose of day trips is to have an enjoyable fun day out with other members, perhaps learning something new along the way. If you’ve been somewhere nice yourself, we’re always grateful for suggestions. All members are welcome, whether alone or with a group. Each trip is different and you will be informed of any requirements prior to booking including accessibility.
It is expected that members behave in a courteous manner and treat fellow members respectfully. It is your responsibility to safeguard your belongings and heed any instructions. Please make sure that your details are up to date on your membership record. These must include your mobile number and the name and phone number of an emergency contact.
Pick-ups
The Hough Green stop is next to Redlands Close, the Delamere Street stop is opposite the new health centre and Sainsbury’s is at Caldy Valley Great Boughton.
Payment
This depends upon the trip, and details will be given at the time of booking. Refunds are not usually given but if you find someone to take your place then we have no objection to you making a private arrangement.
