A chance for older people to share their wealth of knowledge
The University of The Third Age offers all older people a variety of opportunities to use their knowledge, skills and experience and to acquire new ones in an informal atmosphere where exams are a thing of the past. Joining us is a simple procedure, no searching questions are asked, it is sufficient that you want to be part of our great organisation.
Alton U3A has been in existence for eighteen years and some of our founding members are still active with us. From small beginnings we have grown to a total of more than four hundred members. A look at our Study Groups will give you an idea of the range of our activities.
Our monthly meetings at which there is always an interesting talk are held in the Alton Community Centre. Attending these meetings is a great way of seeing at first hand how the Alton U3A may be just right for you. Visitors are assured a warm welcome. Monthly Meetings are held from September through to May on the third Friday. Doors are open at 1:30pm
THE VIRTUAL U3A
The Virtual U3A (vU3A), which went live in January 2009, is an online-only U3A, affiliated to the Third Age Trust. One of its principal aims is to provide the U3A experience for those who are rendered isolated in some way by circumstances or geography and unable to play a full part in a terrestrial U3A. More information is available on the public website www.vu3a.org where one can also apply for membership. Why not pay it a visit? And if you know of anyone who might benefit, please pass the information on.
