Between September and June we hold general meetings with invited speakers to which all members are invited. They cover a wide range of topics and are followed by the opportunity to chat to other members over a cup of tea and look at what is on offer in our Interest Groups.
Our venues
Most of our general meetings are held at Culloden Baptist Church, Inverness Spectrum Centre or Fortrose Free Church.
Did you know that membership of IBI u3a also gives you access to a number of u3a online groups, talks and events at no additional cost?
