Ems Valley

Welcome to Ems Valley u3a

Registered Charity No. 1117497

Membership of the Ems Valley U3A is drawn from the Emsworth area. Interest groups are self-managed by Group Leaders from within the Membership, with venue funding support, where necessary, from the u3a. Group Leaders' knowledge, skills and experience are used to deliver a programme of learning and fun. If you're not yet a member, then check the Membership page for details on how to become involved.
Also, take a look at the National u3a How-to Guidance page for tutorials on using Zoom, setting up email accounts, Facebook groups, etc.

Please note: if you find a group you're interested is full, then why not start up a second one yourself? Contact the Groups Coordinator, Ann Sims, who would be more than happy to help.

LATEST LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Ann Sims has shared a mailing from the Third Age Trust, highlighting the latest learning opportunities on offer. The Trust has also launched a survey to dig deeper into what you would like to see develop in our u3a and nationally. The Learning Survey page has more information and gives a link to the survey itself.

NATIONAL NEWSLETTER - JANUARY EDITION

We've just received the latest edition, which you can read from this link: National Newsletter January 2024.

THIRD AGE MATTERS MAGAZINE - AUTUMN EDITION

Many members currently receive the Third Age Matters magazine in their mail five times a year, for which your u3a pays an annual fee for each copy taken. Did you know that you can also read it online? If you find you'd prefer it that way, then please contact the membership secretary, Sue, and let her know you no longer require the printed magazine. We can then use the money we save to the benefit of our members. Click Third Age Matters - Current to read it now. You can also find past editions through this link: TAM Past Editions and then scroll on down to Screenreader Editions.

WHAT IS IGO?

There are over 1000 u3as in this country, of which Ems Valley is just one. Another is Interest Groups Online (IGO) that runs online. You can subscribe to this virtual u3a for just £12 annually and participate in its many interest groups, online. See Interest Groups Online and IGO Current Groups List for more information.
