Welcome!   Whether you are new to our website, or an existing U3A member, a very warm welcome to you. We offer:
​
  • A wide range of "Special Interest Groups" Our groups cover a multitude of interests; there is something for everyone! From art and literature, museum and gallery visits to gardening, photography and walking; from sugarcraft, languages, wine-tasting and drawing to church visiting and cooking.
  • Opportunities to meet informally (see "Coffee Mornings" below)
  • A monthly meeting with speaker, 10am on the first Tuesday of each month at the Leisure centre. Our next speaker on 4th October will be Andy Smart, former journalist and radio broadcaster with 20 years spent on the Nottingham Post, and involved in the publication of the monthly Bygones magazine. His talk will cover a wide variety of subjects from the past relating to Nottinghamshire including Royal visits, weather, industry, sport, WW1 & WW2 and many other topics. ​  On 7th June, Dr Cathy McAteer talked about Russia, its people and history in the context what is currently going on out there.  On 5th  July  Emma Sheardown (Para Olympian) inspired us with  "There’s No Such Word as Can’t". At our August monthly meeting at the Leisure Centre our speaker was Jack Hibbert from Notts Fire & Rescue Service who delivered a lively presentation on the danger of fires in the house and how to avoid them.  On 6th September, Simon Croson told us about bees and beekeeping.
