Welcome
u3a is a self-help organisation for people no longer in full time employment providing educational, creative and leisure opportunities in an informal and friendly environment.
The Romiley and District u3a is a Registered Charity ( Number 1119203) and is a member of the Third Age Trust. The Third Age Trust is the governing body of the u3a's in the UK and provides information and help on running a u3a and its own Groups. It also provides on-line courses. Further information can be found by selecting the u3a tab above right. The North West u3a also provides help and advice and runs Summer Schools and courses for members. Further information can be obtained by selecting the link on the right hand side of this page.
Our branch was formed in 2000, and our membership is currently around 150. There is a general meeting on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Romiley Methodist Church. This involves a presentation by a guest speaker followed by information of, and reports on, group activities.
Three Newsletters are produced each year. The current Newsletter can be found on the Pages page.
Membership subscription for this year £10.00 for all members. The membership year runs from February to January
Please note that General Meetings start promptly at 2.00pm. We are currently meeting in the Romiley Methodist Church. There is an admission charge of £2 to cover the cost of the refreshments and contribute to the cost of hiring the hall and paying the speaker.
We have numerous interest groups and also combine with other local u3a's to provide additional activities. Groups meet usually in members houses, at the Romiley methodist Church, or at other meeting venues, and at visit locations. Trips out are by coach, private cars or public transport, whichever is deemed most appropriate.
Each year we support a Charity. In 2024 we are supporting The Marple Dementia Drop-in Centre.
Romiley is a member of the Pennine Link network of u3a's. More information on the Pennine Link can be found by clicking the link at the top right of this page.
