Sutton-In-Ashfield U3A

Sutton-In-Ashfield U3A Sutton-In-Ashfield U3A is part of a world-wide organisation which enables retired or semi-retired people to have fun in the joy of learning.

U3A stands for University of the Third Age, or that period in our lives after childhood and working life, when most of us have finished paid employment, and our families have flown the nest. Although called a University, we do not offer degrees, but use the term in its original sense, of groups of people wishing to study, discuss a subject or share an interest. We take this idea very loosely and i

nclude many and various topics, which in some cases are just pure enjoyment, and do not include study at all!Come along and see if this can fill a gap in your life.

General information

We offer an environment and a framework in which 3rd Agers can expand their horizons by joining in activities of their choice. These range widely and embrace creative, craft, social, fitness and educational. The list is theoretically without limit because any member is entitled to set up a new interest group where one does not exist. A monthly news letter is produced which includes reports of group activities and general information about Sutton-in-Ashfield U3A. Educational and Social groups: Presently we offer different interest group activities and members are free to join as many as they wish. They extend from Art to Walking and each is organised by a Group Leader. Members are encouraged to propose and set up new groups if they are so inclined and a demand is proved.We have two principles to guide us here: "Each member is both learner and teacher" and "We expect members to take what they need and give what they are able". In practical terms this operates as follows. Although many of our groups are led by one person or have one tutor, it is quite normal to find leader and tutor roles shared amongst members. This both spreads the load and makes a richer experience for both tutors and learners.
