u3a St. Neots and District

Wondering what the u3a is? Well, read on, you may find the u3a is just what you need. Our objective is to provide the opportunity for members who are no longer working full-time to make the most of life. u3a gives them the chance to develop their interests, make new friends and enjoy themselves. Our strap line is Learn Laugh & Live. We have about 60 Group Activities to choose from and members can attend as many or as few as they wish. The choice seems almost endless, covering Walking to Wildlife, Geography to Golf, Dancing to Discussion, Egyptology to Exercise, Crafting to Quizzing and many others. If there is something that you are interested in you can always join us and start a group covering that topic! Annual membership fees are less than £20 per member and Group Activity fees are from as little as a £1 per meeting, or get together, which is fantastic value. Every u3a is run by its members for its members and each Group Activity is run by 1 or 2 Group Leaders who plan and organise the Group’s activities. Activities could take place outdoors or indoors, at pre-set locations or at a variety of different locations they plan to visit. From the 22nd May until mid September we intend to have a stall in the market square, coinciding with the Farmers Market. Subject to Covid conditions we intend to have some live displays from such groups as the Ukulele Strummers and Singing. Our members will “man” the stall and be able to tell you about the many other groups and answer any questions you may have. We have a monthly Meeting at the Priory Centre on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 2pm. Guests can pop in for free and say hello, listen to the Guest Speaker, chat to members and enjoy a hot drink. Alternatively go to our website https://u3asites.org.uk/ st-neots/home or Google St Neots u3a and follow the links to find more details and contact information.
