Welcome to the website of Winchester U3A. If you are not a member, please read on ........

Are you retired or semi-retired?
Do you live in the Winchester area?
Do you wish to expand your knowledge or learn a new skill?
Would you like to discuss your interests or pass on your expertise to others?
Would you like to meet others in a social environment?

If so, Winchester U3A may have something to offer you AND you may have something to offer Winchester U3A.

We currently have over 1100 members and aim to provide a friendly environment in which members can work together to share learning and leisure activities and add value to their quality of life.

U3A membership is not related to a specific age in years but to that period in life after full-time employment and parental responsibility (the third age), when people are free to come together to develop interests for which they may not previously have had the time. There is no lower age for membership, and anybody in their third age can join U3A, including people who are working part time.

Our Activities...

Our activities are centred on over ninety activity groups, ranging from Architecture and Cookery to Video Photography and Walking. Do have a look at the activity groups list (click Groups) to see the full range. If you don't see what you are interested in, we can try to help form such a group.

We have a meeting every month, usually with a speaker, which is open to all. Details of forthcoming meetings can be viewed (by members only) in the Members Area.

Our Outings...

In addition to the quest for knowledge we exist as a social network and arrange regular outings and other social events. Individual groups arrange visits and travel in connection with their activities, and there are walking and day trip opportunities for the entire membership. Members will find more details in the Members Area.

Keeping in Touch...

Every 2 months each member receives, either by mail or through the website, a copy of the Winchester U3A Newsletter, which contains a variety of articles of general interest, reports on past activities and news of forthcoming events.

Those who want it may also receive the National U3A News, published quarterly by the Third Age Trust, which is a wide ranging magazine covering all aspects of the University of the Third Age and its activities.

In addition we hope that you will keep in touch through this website.
