The Science group dates back to the foundation of Waterlooville u3a in 2006. For several years meetings had taken place in members’ homes, moving to meet in Cowplain Business Centre in 2016 in response growing membership but in 2017 a larger meeting room was needed as our membership passed 25 and we met at the Sacred Heart. We now meet at the Springwood Community Centre.

Most meetings take place on the fourth Thursday of each month with group members taking turns to talk on a scientific or engineering topic of which they either already had background knowledge, or on a subject they have researched specially for the talk. However, we occasionally invite an outside specialist speaker and sometimes arrange visits to local sites of scientific interest.

Any Waterlooville u3a member interested in the activities of the Science Group should contact Group Liaison (see above) to arrange attendance at a "taster" meeting. Group members are expected to share the costs of hiring meeting rooms and any speakers - this is kept to a minimum.
