Coquetdale u3a is part of the family of u3as under the umbrella of The u3a Trust, and it covers the whole of Upper Coquetdale and surrounding area and our monthly meetings are held in Rothbury.

u3as are self-help, self managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualification but for fun.

OUR AIMS ARE:-

To offer wide and varied activities and contacts.
To widen knowledge experiences, skills, activites, social contacts and friendships.
To develop self-confidence, raise self esteem, improve health,
enhance one's quality of life and to help others do the same.
To give the opportunity of learning something new and realizing a
dream or ambition.
And most importantly - to enjoy the experience!

We were launched in September 2010 and have 19 groups but we are still growing. Members have also expressed interest in a number of additional subjects and as a result new group leaders are welcome to share their knowledge and experience.
