Shipston on Stour Area u3a is a local branch of the u3a, a lively organisation for people who no longer work full time but are still active. It runs nearly forty interest groups where members share their enthusiasm for a subject or an activity, from Italian and walking to table tennis and Pilates. Monthly meetings are held at the Townsend Hall in Shipston, where a speaker talks on their specialist subject, and visitors are welcome at those meetings.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Shipston-on-Stour Area

A local paper for your patch, delivered by email. Who's just started up, what's in season, when the markets are on, what's on this month, and the odd story about how a place like yours keeps its money close to home.

Good news, mostly. There's enough of the other kind about.








Just the district, TQ9, never your full address.

Your postcode does one more thing. It's a show of hands for your own patch. Every signup tells the bakers, growers and makers nearby that their neighbours are behind them, and that count is what convinces the next one to put themselves on the map. More of us backing local means more to buy, closer to home.

We haven't sent the first one yet. Sign up now and you'll be there for it.
