When 400 Islanders get together and share experiences, knowledge, skills and friendship that’s really good news … as you would find if you joined up with them in the Isle of Wight U3A aka University of the Third Age.
Over 40 groups to choose from
All volunteers, the organisers and tutors are members who are willing to share the tasks of organising their special group of which there are now up to 40 meeting at various times, days and places across the Isle of Wight.
You too could be one them, either as participating member or the leader of a group with your special interest. It can be education social or cultural whatever floats your boat.

Just £12 per annum
Each of them is self governing and self funding. Membership of U3A is £12pa and you could belong to as many groups as you have time for.
