Membership of the University of the Third Age (U3A) is not related to a chronological age but to the Third Age of life which comes after full-time employment and family responsibilities.
There is no upper or lower age, or ethnic or cultural distinction, for membership.
The group is expanding, and several new group activities have been proposed for the growing list of popular options available to members.
Some members have already volunteered to lead these new groups, though they may need some assistance and, of course, participants to join them.
Other groups are still looking for leaders to step up and take charge.
Flexible Meetings
The timing and frequency of sessions are flexible, allowing leaders to arrange meetings according to their convenience, whether weekly, monthly, or at other intervals that suit their schedules.
The planned new groups include a Camera group, Wine appreciation, Ballroom/sequence dancing, Ukulele playing, Men’s Sheds, Pottery making, Classic Cars, Pickleball, Acoustic Guitar playing, and more.
If you’re already a member of U3A, please contact Michelle at [email protected] for further information.
If you’re not yet a member, you can visit the website torreviejau3a.org to learn more about the association and how easy it is to join.
Social Events
The dedicated Social team organises a wide variety of social events, outings and trips throughout the year specifically tailored to suit U3A members.
The Social team can be found at the monthly meetings at the CMO building in Torrevieja and the monthly coffee mornings at Rocky’s Arena.
You can contact the social team by email: [email protected]
