learn, laugh, live
Northwood & District u3a is a well-established part of a worldwide movement for those interested in lifelong learning. As a self-help organisation, we offer a wide variety of study, recreational and social group activities.
Our members are retired or semi-retired and we learn because we want to. We value experience and share our knowledge and skills across a broad range of general and specialist interest groups.
We invite you to join us as a member in the third age of life. Becoming a member gives you the opportunity to access all our groups and meetings, to receive our newsletters and bulletins, and to socialise in friendly and informal surroundings.

Finally, it has links to reserve equipment (such as a laptop or projector) for use at Fairfield or at another location (our “roaming equipment”).
There are links on the right to our regional u3a and to our national organisation – the Third Age Trust. Both organisations run events open to all of our members and provide a plethora of useful information and advice.
