A very warm welcome to our Bournemouth u3a!
"I wish I'd known about u3a before."
"And it's a great way to socialise."
Welcome to Bournemouth u3a. Our community is for those in later life who want to keep active in mind and body. Our members use their experience and knowledge to learn from each other in congenial special interest Groups.
.....and there are lots of them, meeting during daylight hours in term time across the Bournemouth area. Together, we hope to embrace healthy ageing as an adventure ... with some laughs along the way.
If you're looking to rebalance your life by embarking on something new and different, you've arrived at the right place!
From small beginnings in 1987, we now have almost 900 members meeting in around 100 different Groups. There are no age limits ... you just need to have some 'me' time to fill. No qualifications are necessary, and none are awarded. Rather, the accent is on relaxed enjoyment.
We want to maintain our u3a as an inspiring community of members from all walks of life with so much experience and with so many skills to share. So we welcome new members with hobbies and hopes.
You can develop your hobby with like-minded people by starting a special interest Group. And you can realise your hopes for later life learning by joining Groups with interests that match your own.
