Crickhowell U3A
The University of the Third Age welcomes new members who are no longer in full-time employment. No qualifications are needed, and no exams exist!
Pursue your interests at leisure. Share skills, knowledge and experiences. Make new friends and have fun.
New Agers will have long ago passed the First Age of school and possibly further education. They will also have passed the Second Age of work and possible involvement with a young family. In their Third Age they will probably have found a new freedom and a desire to find new interests or develop those they already have.
There are over 600 U3A groups in Britain, each one being independent and self-funding. Each group is able to organise its own programme, depending on the interests of its members. These include intellectual, artistic and physical pursuits and advice and help is always at hand from universities, museums and the Third Age Trust.
Here in Crickhowell we are a self-help organisation dependent upon all members – over 400 at present – playing an active role. Some offer experience and expertise in giving talks, organising Special Interest Groups, arranging outings, helping in preparation of presentations, and/or serving on the management committee. Help is also needed at monthly meetings, setting up equipment, preparing refreshments, and, most importantly, welcoming and befriending new members.
There is a meeting on the first Tuesday in each month in The Clarence Hall for all members with a guest speaker. Coffee/ tea at 10am with a talk at 10:30am. Everyone will be made welcome – just make yourself known to a committee member.
