No Refunds Policy Your committee have reluctantly decided that when tickets are ordered they must be paid for, unless

advised differently, and if you find you cannot attend the event you have bought the ticket for, it is up to you to sell that ticket on, and no refund will be given by U3A, unless there is a waiting list in operation. This is because some events have run at a loss due to people suddenly cancelling and expecting their money to be refunded. After all, if you book seats at the theatre, or a bus trip and found you couldn’t

attend, you would lose your money, and, regrettably, we must have a similar

U3A Main meeting ………. ........ 4th Thursday each month at 10 am Mansfield U3A Main Meeting .. .......3rd Tuesday each month (except Aug & Dec) at 10am Sutton-in-Ash U3A Main Meeting ....2nd Thursday each month at 10am Hucknall U3A Main Meeting ............ 2nd Wednesday each month at 1.30 pm Rainworth U3A Main Meeting .......... 2nd Wednesday each month at 10 am Ravenshead U3A Main Meeting …… 2nd Tuesday each month at 10 am
