On Saturday, 14th September, the Chiltern branch of the u3a will welcome you at The Chilterns Lifestyle Centre in Amersham for an open day to showcase their varied activities
Chiltern u3a was formed in 1999. All the group’s activities are run and supported by members.
Membership is open to all adults: You don’t have to be retired – just not have a full-time employment or caring commitments. Activities aim to offer fun and stimulating environments where you can learn new skills and make new friends.
Annual membership is £28pp. Should a group require specialist facilities or a professional tutor a small additional charge may apply, but this is kept to a minimum. This u3a currently has about 1,350 members who between them offer 90+ interest groups, ranging from ancient cultures to badminton, board games and bowls through drama, dancing, language, music, science & technology to walking, wine tasting and yoga. There’s also a monthly general meeting with external speakers covering varied topics. These groups in a member’s home or at local venues (e.g. in Amersham, Chalfont St Peter, Chesham, Hyde Heath and Holmer Green). Some have been visits to properties, gardens and theatres.
Chiltern u3a is affiliated to a national network of about 1,000 u3as with 400,000 members. The UK u3a Week is all set for 21st-28th September. In advance of this, you’re all welcome to the open day, 10am-4pm at The Chilterns Lifestyle Centre on 14th. Many groups will host information stands and there’s a membership offer of £14pp if you join on the day!
