Our Group's Forthcoming Trips
Milton Keynes Theatre - matinee performance. The year is 1943 and right now we're losing the war. Luckily, we're about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin' in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train in this fast-paced, hilarious and unbelievable true story.
WAITING LIST ONLY
There are a few spare seats on the coach eg for a day's shopping - click for more information

GUIDANCE FOR THEATRE TRIPS
We would like to explain to you our Procedures and Rules when organising Theatre Trips. (We only allow St Ives u3a current members on trips.)
- We decide on the show and procure tickets, usually 50
- We obtain a quote from Dews coaches.
- We calculate the Trip price including Theatre ticket, coach cost and driver's gratuity assuming that all tickets are sold. This is a guide price and would not go higher than top price quoted when advertising the trip.
- We reserve the right to cancel an advertised trip if numbers are insufficient to provide transport.
- Bookings for a new theatre trip will open at the u3a monthly open meeting.
- If you wish to go on this trip we will take your name and you will be allocated a ticket in the order in which your name is written down.
- If you are unable to attend the meeting, emails/requests through the website sent on the same day are also acceptable. However, please note that in the unusual case of all tickets being allocated at the open meeting, priority will be given to those who have signed up in person.
- We have to pay for theatre tickets 3 or 4 months before we go. We ask for theatre seat money from you before we pay which confirms that you are included. We only pay for confirmed seats.
- ONCE WE HAVE PAID WE CANNOT GET A REFUND ON THESE TICKETS.
- All members going are added to our Beacon system which then also adds additional people to a waiting list in date order.
- If we are subsequently informed that you are unable to attend, the first member on the waiting list is contacted.
- If we are able to resell your ticket, we will refund money paid
- IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESELL YOUR THEATRE TICKET, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REFUND YOU.
- Refunds will be made to your bank account by an online payment, once you have passed us your bank details.
The preferred method for trip (or trip) payments is by BACS in order to avoid bank charges on cheques.
When you have a confirmed booking BACS payments can be made to our account as follows:
- St Ives Cambs U3A Social Account
- Sort code: 40-16-08
- Account: 74557352
- Ref: Your u3a membership number and trip (or trip) name
If you don’t have access to online banking you can ask your branch to make the payment over the counter using the above details.
If a cheque payment is your only option, cheques are to be made payable to:
- St Ives (Cambs) U3A Social Account
Please contact Kathy Meadows with any queries or suggestions for future shows via the blue envelope email link at the top of this page.
