The University of the Third Age (now known as u3a) was founded in 1982. It is a self-help educational organisation made up of independent groups run by its members. No exams, no qualifications are sought or offered. We learn for fun, and we enjoy it. The only requirement to become a member is to be semi or fully retired and the purpose is to come together to pursue and share skills, knowledge and interests with each other - and to have fun while we do that!
Live, Learn, Laugh!
Sarratt & District u3a was formed in January 2007 and has a membership of almost 300. New members are always welcome! Make the most of life once you’re no longer in work. Explore new ideas, skills and interests with your local u3a.
You are welcome to come along to one of our monthly meetings to talk to a few people and listen to one of our interesting talks. Our friendly team will show you around and tell you more to help you to decide if you would like to join us. Doors open from 10am, coffee is about 10.10am and the meeting starts at 10.30 with announcements followed by a talk, on either the first or second Wednesday morning of the month in Sarratt Village Hall. Here are some of our forthcoming meetings and other Events
We have around 30 interest groups and at the heart of every group are people just like you. A group can range from a few people sharing an interest around the kitchen table, perhaps learning a new language, or 40 people going on a coach trip. If there is not a subject matter on the list which interests you why not start a new group, we will support you and other members may be interested in the same topic as you! You must be a member of Sarratt & District u3a in order to join a group but you can join as many as you have time for. Groups
Our current membership fee is £15 which includes a percapita contribution to the Third Age Trust and the u3amatters magazine (published in Febuary, April, June, September and November) which is sent out by post https://www.u3a.org.uk/news/u3a-matters If you are interested in joining us, please contact Penny Membership Secretary
