Meetings
The Monthly Meetings are held at the Masonic Hall, 73 Oakfield Road, West Croydon CR0 2UX. The meeting start time is 2.15pm but members are welcome to come earlier to enjoy tea or coffee, biscuits and a chat. The Masonic Hall also provides a special u3a lunch menu at reasonable prices which can be ordered at the bar.
Parking
There is a free car park round the corner from the hall, on Stanton Road - halfway down, look for the green railings on the left. It's free to park there when attending a meeting, as long as you enter your car registration on the screen when you enter the hall. Don't forget to do this to avoid a fine!
