Welcome

friends and share interests, skills and pastimes with New Milton u3a

Welcome to New Milton u3a. We are small but friendly, having a membership of around 100-150 members. New Milton u3a was formed in 2011 to bring together a group of people seeking to make new friends, enjoy learning and sharing new skills and pastimes in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No previous knowledge is expected and learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive.
