The Economics group meets at 10am on the first Wednesday of each month. We started in January 2020 and summaries of each month’s meetings can be viewed in the sidebar.

Rambles are usually within a radius of 20 miles from Tiverton and between 3½ and 5½ miles, followed by a pub lunch. Any U3A member is welcome to join us on the day at the starting point, which is always advertised in the previous month’s Newsletter.

We meet monthly at The Old Heathcoat School Community Centre to study Western Philosophy with our academic leader David Hamer. The syllabus of studies is discussed and determined by members of the group. There are no lectures, but members are asked to prepare by reading short passages and to consider or devise questions for discussion at the meeting.

Meetings are arranged to start at 2.30 pm and usually finish by about 4.30 pm depending on how many Members attend, and how much discussion the items produce. The host(ess) provides tea/coffee and biscuits either during or after the readings.
