U3A ATLANTIC SEABOARD

UNIVERSITY of the THIRD AGE

U3A is a learning and social co-operative primarily for senior citizens from all walks of life. No qualifications are required and none given.

Our objective is to be a university in the original sense of the word. An egalitarian community of teachers and learners, sharing interests and enthusiasms. There is a very real need for accessible and stimulating educational opportunities at a stage in life when people can expect to have more free time for self- development and much needed social contact.

U3As are democratic, self-funded, self-managed non-profit organisations, open to people who wish to exercise their minds by learning and helping others to learn through participating in courses, discussions and activity groups covering a wide range of subjects. Activities are held during the daytime on weekdays which suits retired people.

U3A Atlantic Seaboard holds a monthly meeting at Sea Point Place (CPOA), Beach Road, Sea Point at 10.am for 10.30am on the second Thursday of each month, with excellent speakers. This venue offers convenient access and easy parking. with the opportunity to join or update membership, to make new friends, and gain information on localised group meetings in the Atlantic Seaboard area.
