Spring: 2 January - 28 March 2024

No longer working full-time or busy raising a family ? This is your chance to develop your interests, make new friends and enjoy yourself in your third age.

We are NOT just for retired people - we have a number of members with part-time jobs.

We are NOT just about learning - socialising and exercise ( physical and mental ) are just as important.

In relation to learning, we have self-help interest groups, sharing knowledge for its own sake on a wide range of subjects chosen by us, with no exams.

HASLEMERE U3A HAS OVER 700 MEMBERS AND OVER 60 GROUPS, providing a wide range of stimulating activities.

We are an independent charity ( No. 1053049 ) founded in 1995 and based at Haslemere Hall, where we host monthly speakers there on varied subjects, to which all are welcome free of charge, including non-members.

Outdoor activities include five walking groups, bird watching, petanque, cycling for fun and target shooting.

There are six language Groups. There are three lunch clubs (including one on Sundays for solos), seven Bridge Groups, Book Groups, wine appreciation, cooking for men, table tennis, dancing, jazz appreciation, a ukulele Group, world history - and more.

THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE - FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE OUR GROUP PAGES. New Groups form every year and some are in the pipeline now. Some Groups may be full and have a waiting list.

IF YOU ARE NOT YET A MEMBER, do come and join us. Membership at present only costs £10 per year - see our Membership page for details. You are also welcome to come along and try us out before you join.

The status of our Groups is shown on the Groups page and you can join as many Groups as you wish. Some Groups have additional costs ( session fees ) to cover room hire or other expenses. If you are a member of another U3A, you are welcome to join our Groups, if you pay any session fees in the same way as our own members. However, if places in a Group are limited, our own members will have priority.

YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY to start a new Group if one does not exist and to use your skills within our committee to support the continued development of our U3A - we are always looking for new talent and for ways of improving.

Members with carers are welcome to bring them - carers do not need to join and are covered by our u3a insurance. Haslemere Hall and some of our other venues are suitable for wheelchair users.

WHY NOT JOIN US NOW ?

STOP PRESS : UKRAINIAN REFUGEES - We welcome Ukrainian refugees, who are excused from paying membership fees until September 2024
