Blackwater u3a runs 33 groups around Blackwater.

Blackwater u3a holds monthly meetings at West Maldon Community Centre with speakers on everything from the SAS in Essex to life in Norway, regularly drawing 70 to 90 members, alongside cream teas, beetle drives and a wide programme of interest groups. Like every u3a it is run by the members for the members, with an ethos of self help and mutual aid.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Blackwater

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.
