Other U3As around UK
For people who are interested in what other U3As around the country are doing, try hovering over the U3A logo [see *** below] at the top right of the page - if you click on it, you will be redirected to the main UK national U3A/Third Age Trust[TAT] website. Here you will find lists of the websites of the separate town and district U3As notified to U3A/TAT.
Be aware that if you enter another website, you may not be able to get back via a similar logo link, if the district U3A is not created by the same program as ours.
So... ...
- *** If you right-click your mouse on the U3A logo above, that will allow you to "open in new tab" and then you can click on the Tewkesbury tab any time you wish to be back at the Tewkesbury site, or to restart the list of U3As.
