CHaTTR
CHaTTR is a loose grouping of local u3as – Chinnor, Haddenham, Thame and District, Greater Thame and Ridgeway. The Chairs of these u3as hold regular meetings to share best practice, and CHaTTR occasionally organises Study Days.
Some Interest Groups are ‘shared’ between these u3as:Computing run by Chinnor for members of all CHaTTR u3as
Digital Photography run by Greater Thame
Earth Matters run jointly by Haddenham and Greater Thame
Note that members of Haddenham u3a may also attend Interest Groups of any of the other u3as, as long as there are spaces. Members should approach the Leader of the Group in which they are interested.

Forthcoming Events
From Classics to Pop
A musical foray into both worlds of music
A talk by Clive Aronson
Tuesday 10th February at 10.30 by Zoom
Clive Aronson will be demonstrating how certain classical music converts perfectly to pop and/or is then used in the movies as part of the movie themes. I think this will be a very interesting talk to people interested in the world of classical music, pop music as well as the movies.
