Witney

Testimonials

“I joined the U3A to make new friends; to continue learning, and to explore new ideas. Discovering the U3A and all its variety of subjects on offer and the amazing range of its membership has broadened my life and interests still further. It has gone a long way to replacing the colleagues and associations you engaged with in your working life.”

“My friends told me about trips they had been on and when I moved back to Witney I joined the French Conversation group to keep my brain active. And the Play reading group because I was in the theatre. However, the best thing is you meet new people and make new friends.”

“It's surprising how many others share your interests!”

“When I moved to Witney a neighbour suggested I went with her to sample a meeting. I soon became a member and have since enjoyed hearing speakers on a wide range of subjects. Going on to volunteer help was a great way to meet people and feel increasingly involved in the successful running of the group.”

“I moved to Witney in 2018, newly retired, with a lot of time on my hands. Happily, I found Witney u3a, and discovered it has a thriving Writers Group. When I first joined the group, we were able to meet in our Chairperson’s comfortable home once a month.”

"Having moved to Witney from outside the area, the u3a has provided a source of many new friends and joining some of the many interest groups has kept my brain active in an entertaining and informative way."

"The u3a has kept me interested and entertained and opportunities for volunteering have ensured I've kept busy despite the pandemic."

"I was looking for new interests and hobbies when I retired 2013 and I saw an article about Witney u3a in the local paper. I thought it looked interesting and my wife and I joined and have never looked back. We have made lots of friends, discovered new interests and had lots of fun."

The biggest benefit during the early phase of my membership with our local group was six years ago when our chairperson, proposed celebrating Witney U3A's 30th Anniversary by publishing a book of 30 stories.
