" In Peterborough U3A everybody learns something - we are all there to help each other"
We have prepared a short video to give potential members a flavour of what we do, and how our members all get something out of their groups and the wider u3a in general.
Watch this short film to see what our members say about what Peterborough u3a means to them.
THE MEMBERSHIP YEAR RUNS FROM 1ST SEPTEMBER TO 31ST AUGUST. THERE IS NO PRO RATA SYSTEM. MEMBERS ENROLLING UP TO 1ST JUNE IN ANY YEAR WILL BE REQUIRED TO RENEW THEIR MEMBERSHIP BY 1ST SEPTEMBER OF THAT YEAR. THOSE ENROLLING AFTER 1ST JUNE WILL HAVE MEMBERSHIP UNTIL 31ST AUGUST THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
Learn and enjoy activities with others of a similar mind
Learning and participating with others can be enjoyable and motivating. Peterborough u3a gives people the chance to learn or participate in activities together in a friendly and supportive environment. Members share their knowledge and experiences rather than relying on formal teachers.
In u3a groups, people meet to learn and have fun in different subjects such as sports, languages, art, or just gentle exercises. Everyone can contribute ideas, ask questions, and learn at their own pace.
Learning with others also helps build friendships and keeps people socially active. It shows that education and personal growth can continue throughout life while enjoying the company of others.
Laugh with friends
Our ethos is learning and participation with a difference. There are no teachers and students, no classes and no exams.
Laughing with others is an important part of staying happy and connected. The U3A offers many opportunities for members to share fun moments while taking part in different activities. When people meet in groups to discuss topics, play games, or join social events, laughter often comes naturally.
Sharing jokes, stories, and light-hearted conversations helps create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It also helps members feel comfortable and confident when meeting new people. Our Monthly Meetings can be attended by Non-Members just to see what we are about
Live for the moment
With Peterborough u3a, retirement or reduced hours working is just the beginning. We know it can feel lonely when you move to a new area, lose your workspace as an outlet or find yourself living alone in later life. By connecting with others through the things you love, you can rebuild your network and find your community.
Peterborough u3a can help you live later life with fun, purpose and adventure.

I'm an ex-Fleet Street showbiz journalist, now based in Newark, and I specialised in writing about TV and interviewing TV, movie and music stars for over 30 years.
