Tuesday 29th April 2-4pm St Ives Corn Exchange The u3a Open Day is the perfect opportunity for adults coming up to their retirement years to explore a diverse range of creative, educational or social interest opportunities. They will see how they can develop their interests, make new friends and have fun. Visitors will have the chance to meet existing members and explore the variety of groups on offer including arts, sciences, humanities and sport. From painting to philosophy, languages to digital skills, the u3a offers something for everyone, no matter their backgrounds. Highlights on the day will include opportunities to discuss retirement, demonstrations and entertainment from the singing and music groups. Free refreshments also available. “At u3a we believe that sharing interests and hobbies leads to new friendships and opportunities,” says Peter Cooper, Chair of St Ives u3a. “Our Open Day is an ideal chance to see what’s on offer and how you can get involved.” We are especially hoping to see people who are already semi-retired, working part-time or who find they have more time on their hands, to see how joining u3a now will enhance their retirement and may even inspire some to start a new group. With over 900 members and 60 + groups, many are full or have waiting lists, so new ideas from enthusiastic individuals are always welcome. We all work together to make groups a success with a support team on hand and plenty of volunteers to help. To learn more about the u3a and our Open Day please visit: https://u3aivo.uk/open-day-2025/ We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the joy of lifelong learning!

20 May. The Spinning House. How Cambridge University locked up women in their private prison. Caroline Biggs. In 1561 the university was granted legal powers to deny the townswomen of Cambridge basic rights. Josephine Butler (1828–1906) became famous for highlighting the iniquity of the Contagious Diseases Acts (CDAs) of the 1860s, based on the 1561 powers, whereby any woman suspected of being a prostitute or even being seen anywhere near a student could be spirited away by a university “bulldog” and imprisoned in the notoriously filthy Spinning House jail, with no right to appeal or to a trial by jury. Emma Kemp was sentenced to fourteen days after being “found in the company of members of the university”. Jane Elsden was given two weeks for “not coming quietly” when hauled off the streets. Victorian hypocrisy is everywhere in this story. At least half of our members live in Over, including our Secretary. The History Society meets at 7.30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month in The Carol Shaw Room at Swavesey Village College – through the main entrance then 20 metres along the corridor to the right.
