Birkdale & Ainsdale

Welcome

The u3a is a UK wide, cooperative movement of people not in full time work who come together to continue their educational, social and creative interests in a friendly and informal environment.

Every u3a hosts interest groups chosen and run by members for members. Members tend to form strong and meaningful friendships together with a sense of community, social wellbeing, fellowship, and belonging.

The benefits of joining the u3a:
• Make a difference, stay active, keep learning and have fun.
• Socialise, and together experience new activities and make the most of life
• There is access to online learning, training and resources to inspire you.
• Attend a variety of interesting talks and presentations that are held regularly.
• Meet people with similar interests and share your skills and knowledge.

Birkdale and Ainsdale u3a was established in 1991. We are a friendly group with around 100 members, small enough for everyone to feel a sense of belonging and the prospect of getting to know new people.

We meet every Tuesday afternoon at St Peter’s Church Hall on St Peter’s Road, Birkdale. Our different interest groups cover a diverse mix of activities from Keep Fit to Bridge; Art & Craft to Rummikub and Scrabble. However, there always remains scope for the creation of new ones.

Our annual membership fee is £10, with a reduction if you produce a current membership card for another u3a. There is a small charge for attending some activities. For example, those held at St Peter’s Church Hall are subject to an entry fee of £3.00.

If you would like to become a member of the Birkdale & Ainsdale u3a, please download our Membership Application form, or come along to St Peter’s Church Hall any Tuesday afternoon. There are Committee members present from 1.30pm and activities commence at 2.00pm.
