University of the 3rd Age (U3A) Summer 2008

Formed in the early Spring of 2004 when the first meeting of interested parties was called and a steering committee elected, the Branston and District U3A has gone from strength to strength and now boasts a membership of around 140. While the bulk of our members are from Branston,Heighington & Washingboro, we do have members from Bracebridge Heath, Nocton, Dunston, Metheringham and even Lincoln and Welton.

The only qualification for membership is that you need to be over 50 and NOT in full time employment. We have a very wide range of interest groups, each with its own Group Convenor, ranging from outdoor pursuits such as Long or Short Walks and Natural History to indoor activities includingMusic Appreciation, Scrabble and Bridge. These are just a few of over 30 different activities both recreational and educational.

Our monthly meetings are held in Branston Village Hall on the 4th Tuesday in every month and prospective members are welcome to come along to "test the water".
