Glasgow West End U3A Science and Technology Group for subjects of current and historical interest
The Science and Technology Group meets monthly between September and June (please note there is no meeting in December) on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 3pm, to learn about and discuss topics of current and historical interest. The format for the meetings normally involves a presentation and discussion. No prior knowledge of subjects will be assumed, and everyone will have a chance to ask questions or contribute a point of view. Meetings are in-person, although occasional meetings may be on Zoom, eg if a speaker is unable to attend in person. New members are always welcome, even if there is only one talk that interests you.
Meetings take place at Partickhill Bowling Club 46 Partickhill Road, Glasgow G11 5BY. We ask for a donation of £2 to cover the cost of rental of the premises.
See links below for the programme for 2025-26 and to see what we covered in the 2024-25 session.
