The University of the Third Age
A U3A is a university in the original sense of the word: a collective of people devoted to learning, with members not students, all of whom are in their Third Age
Good Reasons for belonging to U3A
To belong to an organisation offering wide and varied activities and contacts
To widen your knowledge, experiences, skills, activities, social contacts and friendships.
To develop your self-confidence, raise self-esteem, improve health, quality of life and to help others do the same.
To enable you to realise some of your dreams and ambitions, be it to learn something new, a foreign language perhaps, take up a new hobby or sport or holiday in far off places.
Life certainly need not be dull for Third Agers, perhaps we are disproving the oft quoted adage that schooldays are the best years of our lives.

Good luck to the 3rd Agers and the Web Wanderers!!
