Our u3a is for people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising, and are no longer in full time employment.
u3a Members also benefit from being able to join any of the growing number of Interest Groups which cover a wide variety of subjects. Some members join the u3a just to be able to participate in our friendly Groups led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic leaders.
For information about the Weston-super-Mare u3a, including how to join, see the About page.
