We are a self-help organisation, dedicated to providing
all types of educational, creative and leisure activities
for older people at minimum cost.
|
|
The main aim of the U3A is to help members spend their time usefully and pleasurably in pursuing old and new interests with like-minded people and lending a hand to keep this self-help organisation flourishing.
|
Why university ?
|
|
The term University is used in its original meaning:
A group of people devoted to the common activity of learning.
|
Why Third Age ?
|
|
The First Age is childhood.
Second Age is full employment and responsibility.
The Third Age is retirement - a time of creativity, fulfilment and enjoyment.
|
Who Teaches ?
|
|
The members teach each other.
“Who teaches learns ......... who learns, teaches.”
|
What subjects and activities are available ?
|
|
The number of subjects and activities on offer is only limited by the number of members willing to lead or “convene” a group.
We have many groups covering a wide range of interests.
|
|
The atmosphere is friendly and informal, no exams, no
assessments, and most groups meet during the day.
|
|
If your interest is not on our list, we will help you start a new group
|
Friendship ?
|
|
The best way to form new friendships is to join a group: it’s easy.
|
Monthly Meetings
|
|
Each month, guest speakers talk on a variety of subjects, some serious, and some not so serious.
There’s tea and biscuits, and the meeting is also a social event for members. Of course we talk (briefly) about U3A business.
First Tuesday of each month at the Drill Hall - 2.30pm |
