Reigate & Redhill u3a

u3a is an independent, national institution with local branches. There are lots of opportunities to get involved with learning remotely or in your area.

It aims to provide opportunities for those who are no longer in regular employment to pursue and share skills, interests, knowledge and hobbies with each other and have fun! The u3a movement is a collection of groups (u3as) that run local and online member-led learning across the UK, in particular for those no longer in full time work. u3a members draw upon their knowledge and experience to teach

and learn from each other for pleasure; learning is its own reward. It's all voluntary; Reigate and Redhill u3a is home to many activity groups covering hundreds of different subjects - from art to yoga and everything in between. It’s local, social, friendly, low-cost and open to all.

Ian Worley will be talking about his experiences whilst sailing as a watch leader, later promoted to First Mate, on the maxi yacht Great Britain II in the 1977/78 Whitbread Round the World Race. During that race they encountered storms aplenty, raging seas, icebergs and a lightning strike, all whilst he was filming for the BBC sports programme Grandstand.
