Saxilby

Welcome to Saxilby U3A

Welcome to Saxilby u3a. We are glad that you have chosen to look further into what we are about.
We at Saxilby have been going for over 10 years and we are part of the national u3a, which has
over 1,000 groups.

u3a stands for The University of the Third age. However, don’t be put off, as we do not have a
Campus or issue degrees.

We are here for those who are no longer in full time employment and follow our ethos of
LEARN, LAUGH AND LIVE.

We meet at 10.00am every third Thursday in the month in Saxilby Village Hall (which is on the High
Street) to have tea/coffee and a biscuit, and a chat, followed at 10.30 by a speaker.
Do please come along to one of our monthly meetings to get a feel of what we are about.
The speakers are from all walks of life and as such bring a myriad of interesting subjects. Recent
talks have been on Flying with the Red Arrows display team, to Nursery rhymes through the ages.

At the monthly meeting you can meet team leaders from our 27 diverse groups, and if you are
interested they will explain how their group operates. Interests range from Badminton to Cribbage and from Mah-jong to Wine appreciation, to mention but a few. The Saxilby Parish magazine, Foss Focus,
includes a full list of all groups and contacts. There may be a small charge for certain activities to
cover the cost of the hire of the venue.

Our annual subscription has been at £16 for several years, unfortunately it will be increased to £20 from April 2023 and we hope to keep it at for several years. This includes free coffee/tea and biscuits, to members. (£2.00 for visitors)

Please do remember to check out our contact page for our interest groups where you will also find
committee and group leaders.

Saxilby is a large village, 6 miles to the north west of Lincoln. It is Danish in origin, and is situated on the north bank of the Fossdyke Navigation, originally a Roman canal linking the River Witham at Lincoln with the River Trent at Torksey.

Saxilby U3A itself was established in February 2011.
