Group Description :
Questers is a group of U3A members who are interested in visiting places not usually accessible to members of the public. For example, in 2024 we had tours around Old Forde House, Yarde Cider works and Bickleigh Castle. We met the birds at the Birds of Prey centre, and tasted cheese at Quicke's. Other venues included Newton Abbot Racecourse, Datrmoor Search & Rescue centre, and Huxbear Vineyard. Two large groups visited both Shaldon Zoo and Exeter Energy Recovery facility, while mushrooms were tasted at Forest Fungi and Christmas treats at the House of Marbles after a glass-blowing demonstration. Ideas for places to visit come from the members and are arranged by them. Depending on the visit, group sizes have ranged from 10 to 30. Some visits incur a cost for guides or a suggested donation for charitable concerns. Questers provide their own transport and often car share.
