Welcome

Welcome to Newport U3A's website! We hope you have as much fun reading and using it as we had creating it!

If you are new to U3As in general, let me dispel one myth for you: membership has no age limits. You do not have to be a wrinkly, a TOG or hold a bus pass. The only stipulation is that you are not in full time employment. For other queries, we think we have a fairly comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section but if you have a question that is not listed, then please Contact Us either using the page linked, or drop an e-mail to Webmaster@newportU3A.org.uk

What do we do?
Briefly U3A is a self-funding organisation that promotes learning for enjoyment. U3A groups are to be found around the country (you can find your local group at www.u3a.org.uk/find-a-u3a.html). Each local U3A is independent, autonomous and funded by subscription and membership fees. The different groups are led by enthusiasts rather than trained teachers - of course this is not mutually exclusive - Newport U3A is lucky enough to have some members who are both.

Where and when do we do it?
We usually meet Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at Shaftesbury Methodist Church, Shaftesbury Street, Newport, but there are some other groups, for instance Sunday Lunch and Saturday Walkers who meet outside these times. Click here to see the whole timetable of groups, convenors and contact numbers.
