u3a

Lyndhurst & District

Welcome to Lyndhurst u3a

u3a is an international movement whose motto is 'Learn Live Laugh'. We are a like minded bunch of people who get together to learn and or have a good time involved in social activities. It's popularity has grown so that last year in this country there were 1035 branches catering for 400,000 members

So how does it work? You pay your £25 for a single member which entitles you to attend the monthly meeting and join any of the groups (for which there may be an additional charge).

Monthly meetings

The monthly meeting takes the form of a brief business section rather like handing out notices in church. Then the talk on an amazing variety of subjects followed by tea and cake. This social side of things often goes on for longer than the talk did.

There will be no August meeting, instead there will be the Summer BBQ at the Nondies Club. See further details below.

Interest Groups

Between monthly meetings the Groups operate in a variety of venues from the Working Man's club to participants homes to pubs to Community Centre rooms. The Groups cover subjects such as foreign languages, board games, to lunching out; see more elsewhere on this website. If you have a burning desire or even an ordinary one to form a group the Groups Coordinator is there to help but you might struggle if you wish to start advanced Swahili.

Come and try us out - attend up to 2 monthly meetings for free. Try out any group by prior arrangement with the Contact; there may be a small charge to cover expenses. All groups have a Contact who can be found at a monthly meeting or electronically on the Contacts page.

The Committee looks forward to meeting old and new members at our monthly meetings
