Activities

Our aim is to encourage the enjoyment and appreciation of every form of verse, from the familiar to the new, and from a wide variety of sources. We do this in various ways: by researching poems based on a variety of agreed topics, poets, and genres; by collaborating on reading a longer (often a narrative) poem, by the occasional use of media, and by means of a quiz completed in the comfort of your own home. Some of our members present their own work. Most of us don’t, but we all take turns to read the poems we have researched and engage in a lively discussion which often goes way off the topic! Turning up, simply to listen, is also encouraged.

During 2022-23 attendance averaged around 10.
In the true spirit of the u3a the accent is on having fun in a sociable setting, making friends, and learning something new!
