Chipping Norton

Welcome to Chipping Norton u3a

Who and what are we?

We are a small, friendly branch of the nationwide self-help organisation u3a, which operates under the aegis of the Third Age Trust, whose emphasis is on lifelong learning through sharing educational, creative and leisure activities. The Third Age refers to the period of life when full time work is over and there is time to meet new friends, follow hobbies and interests and explore new ones.

The u3a is a charitable organisation that was established over thirty years ago and now has over 400,000 members and more than a thousand local branches.

For more detailed information on the history and ethos of the u3a and the Third Age Trust, click on the u3a logo above, which will take you to their national site. It's well worth a visit.

Please join us . . .

To join the Chipping Norton and Area u3a, please Contact the Membership Secretary.

If you are retired or semi-retired and

  • enjoy learning for pleasure, not qualifications
  • you would like to share your knowledge with others and make new friends

we would love to meet you. Membership currently costs just £15 a year.

The ethos of u3a is Learn, Laugh, Live!, and that is exactly what we aim to do.
