U3A stands for the University of the Third Age - a self-help, self funded and social organization. Today there are U3A groups all over the world.
Our group is part of a nation-wide organization founded in 1982 with the aim of providing a learning for life structure specifically for those in the older age group and no longer in full time employment. We confer no degrees but study and learn for the fun of it. Our current membership of 181 comes from Kenepuru in the south to Pukerua Bay in the north.
Mana U3A Inc. annual programme includes four quarterly meetings with a guest speaker, seminar or recital etc. In addition, members variously participate in individual study groups which range from Art Galleries to writing, including: Books, Bridge, Circa Theatre, Creative Writing, Earth Sciences, Films, Gardening, Have Your Say, History of Music, Needlecraft, Outside the Square, Travellers Tales, and Visits to Placs of Interest. These study groups generally meet in the friendly atmosphere of private homes with individual members actively involved in organising or leading groups.
A current membership costs $10 pa or $15 pa per household. There are no course fees as such but the costs of any resources used are shared by the course participants.
