"Nobody needs to stop learning just because they have finished working.”
Our u3a is for people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising, and are no longer in full time employment.
We presently have about 20 interest groups which are organised by members for members. There is no distinction between those who teach and those who learn. All activities are voluntary and member's time is freely given in an atmosphere of shared learning. The activities provided are as wide-ranging and diverse as the membership. We are always looking for new ideas!
Membership
The membership fee covers the cost of a regular Information & News Sheet issued prior to our monthly social meeting (free to attend). Membership includes access to all our groups listed on the Groups page, although some groups request a small nominal fee from those attending to cover the cost of hiring a building for an activity (e.g. for Table Tennis).
If you are considering joining us, please click the Membership menu item above.
Our Monthly Social Meetings
Our monthly Social Meetings are held at St Mary’s Catholic Church Hall, Clodgey Lane, Helston, TR13 8PJ, on the third Wednesday of the month from 10:00am.
Coffee/Tea is available and there is an interesting programme of speakers. More information on these meetings is provided via clicking the Events or Social Meetings menu items. So come and join us and discover that life begins on retirement!
