The U3A is a national organisation bringing educational and social opportunities to people no longer in full-time work. U3A stands for the "University of the Third Age", but don't worry, you don't have to be a university graduate to belong! The aim of the organisation is to create an environment where the members can benefit by sharing knowledge acquired during their lives or by getting together to try something completely new.

We have General Monthly Meetings at the CITADEL (usually the second Thursday in the month 2-3.30pm).
After the announcements, the General Monthly Meetings are addressed by a variety of lively carefully chosen guest speakers and meetings are well attended. Refreshments are provided (this does require a coordinator and several helpers, so if you are willing to be part of the refreshment team, please contact the Social Secretary ).
We keep members informed via this website, emails and also our magazine called "K2 News" (this has replaced our previous newsletter called "Keeping in Touch" or "KIT"). The magazine is edited by Diana Adolphus.
If you would like to submit an article, photo or joke you can make contact with Diana by clicking on this link: K2 News Editor. This will open up a new screen for you to type and send your message.
There are links to the latest K2 News and past issues of KIT in the Members Area. You will need your password to access the link
If you are not a member, we hope that you will join us. We pride ourselves on being a friendly welcoming group with a wide and varied range of interests. Potential new members are welcome to attend two General Monthly Meetings prior to joining.
If you are thinking of joining, click on the "Join us" button on the right for more information.
