Want to know a little about us before making contact? Well - we are all enjoying that delightful period called 'The Third Age', which is to say that we are all retired or semi-retired and determined to make the most of what life with a bit more freedom has to offer. Most of us live in Leamington, Warwick or one of the surrounding villages.

U3A is a self-help learning organisation. Those of us who are already members joined because it offers the opportunity to make new friends and to do things that we have always wanted to do but never before had the time.

At present, there are over sixty self-help groups covering a wide range of activities. Some of us are trying to learn a language, others to keep themselves fit by learning a new physical activity or walking in the countryside and yet others are learning a new skill like card-making or computing. Whatever the activity, the emphasis is on doing things together, with one member of the group volunteering to take the lead.

If you want to do something that is not on the list, we have a Group Co-ordinator through whom you can contact those of a like mind in order to form a new group.

In addition, we have members who organise visits to concerts, the theatre, museums, art galleries and even short holiday 'breaks with a purpose'.

While most things happen in study groups, on the second Wednesday of each month (except August) we hold an Open Meeting starting at 2.15 p.m. - usually with a good speaker. The meetings are currently held at the Dormer Place Conference Centre, Dormer Place, Leamington Spa CV32 5AA which is in the grounds of St Peter's Church in central Leamington.

You are more than welcome to come along to one of these as a visitor, without commitment, to meet some of those responsible for making things happen.
