U3A is an international group of clubs which give retired people who wish to continue learning a chance to do just that.

We operate through Study Groups in which members get together and investigate subjects in ways they feel is both fun and instructive.
We publish a newsletter every second month which is emailed to members. Read the latest newsletter.
The club is run by a committee of volunteers Contact a committee member.
Study Groups
All activities are planned by the members who act as planners, convenors, presenters and/or hosts for study groups. Groups usually meet in a member’s home
All members are encouraged to take a turn at generating, convening, and/or hosting group(s) – but this is not compulsory!
A Committee member acts as Study Group Coordinator who maintains oversight of all the groups, advertises groups, and keeps a record of member participation.
New groups and vacancies within existing groups are published in the monthly newsletters and all groups are listed on the study group page.
Members’ Meetings
We have a Members’ Meeting every 2 months. Points of interest are raised and group convenors may give details of new groups or groups with vacancies. This is followed by morning tea/coffee and then a guest speaker. Speaker details are published in the Newsletter sent to members about 2 weeks prior to the meeting. See also the Newsletters page on this website.
