Thu 31 Oct at 2:30pm A Game Called Malice Oxford Playhouse A splendid dinner party in an Edinburgh stately home concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess. A murder needs to be solved. But the guests have secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing. And among them is Inspector John Rebus. True crime is his calling. Is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules? There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn - and a shocking discovery will send this game called Malice hurtling towards a gasp-inducing conclusion.
Expected price is £46.
Contact John Reading to reserve your seat.

Their Finest Hour
We’ve been asked to let you know about a nationwide digital history project called Their Finest Hour which aims to collect and digitally archive the everyday stories and objects of the Second World War that have been passed down from generation to generation.
These will be uploaded online to a national archive which will be free to access from June 2024. For more information about the project please click on this link.
Newsletter
Many members receive the hard copy U3A Magaazine but you may not be aware that there is also an 'online' National Newsletter which can be viewed directly via the u3q.org.uk website , and can also be received by signing up to receive directly by email. Well worth a look (there is even a mention of another U3A's introduction of Pickleball!).
New members can now include the provision of the "Third Age Matters" magazine as an option when they join or renew for a full year.
Don't forget ...
We are members of the Thames Valley U3A network and they organise various events including online 'study days'. You can visit their website at
