Worksop & District

Do Something Brilliant Today

What is the u3a?

Worksop and District u3a was formed in 2009. The UK u3a movement (based loosely on the French model) was founded in 1982 and aims to encourage groups of people no longer in full-time work to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning subjects of interest to them.

Our motto is LEARN, LAUGH, LIVE and we believe that the third age should be one of creativity, fulfilment and friendship. Our u3a aims to provide that opportunity for retired and semi retired people in and around Worksop.

We have around 40 interest groups that are sporty or active, creative, musical and social. We organise trips and outings and hold a monthly general meeting with a wide variety of speakers.

Our Monthly Meeting is held every third Thursday at:
Carlton in Lindrick Civic Centre
Long Lane
Carlton in Lindrick
S81 9AP
The hall is open from 1:45pm and the speaker or entertainment starts at 2:15pm.

Details of how to join and how to download your membership/application form, together with details of membership fees, can be accessed on the membership page or you could just come along to our General Meeting where you will be made very welcome.

Still Not Sure? - Give us a call on 0300 0309960 and have a chat. It's the cost of a local call and it's probably included in your plan

PS: Third age?

One in four of the population is in their third age. The first age refers to childhood and dependence, the second age to full-time employment and parental responsibilities and the third age is that which follows where one is retired, or partially retired.

Originally U3A stood for 'University of the Third Age' but was not a university in formal sense, and we welcomed members from all background and we still do, because we are all graduates of the university of life! Now we just call it the u3a.
