Horncastle: u3a

The u3a movement aims to encourage people in their "third age" to come together and continue their enjoyment in activities of interest to them. The guiding principles of u3a are to promote lifelong learning through self help interest groups covering a wide range of topics and activities chosen by the members. The "third age" is defined by a time in your life (not necessarily chronological) where y

ou have the opportunity to participate in learning in activity groups. There is no minimum age, but the focus is on people who are no longer in full-time employment or raising a family. Our u3a has approximately 200 members (Aug 2022) with 80 or so regularly attending our monthly meetings. We have over 25 interest groups, including Art, Books, Craft, Games, Gardening, Photography, various Walking groups, etc. We are always keen on extending our range of groups, so if you have a particular interest please contact us. Monthly meetings are held for all members on the first Tuesday of every month at 10 am in the Stanhope Hall, Boston Road, Horncastle, LN9 6NF. We usually have a guest speaker or entertainment followed by free refreshments. There is the opportunity to meet other members and group leaders to discuss any points of interest. Please see the groups for more information. Non -members are very welcome to attend two general meetings as visitors before deciding whether to join. Membership will be £15 year (April 22 to March 23) and entitles you to attend any Monthly meeting, interest groups where there are vacancies and vote at the Annual General Meeting. Non-members are very welcome to attend 2 monthly meetings before joining.
