Welcome to the Wycliffe Lutterworth U3A
The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a self-help organisation for people no longer in full time employment providing educational, creative and leisure opportunities in a relaxed and friendly environment. There are local U3A's all over the UK and The Wycliffe Lutterworth U3A is one of two in Lutterworth (See Links for details of the other U3A). Each local U3A is generally a charity in their own right but all are run entirely by volunteers. Local U3A's are learning cooperatives which draw upon the knowledge, experience and skills of their own members to organise and provide interest groups in accordance with the wishes of the membership. In effect, the teachers learn and the learners teach.
The Wycliffe Lutterworth U3A was formed in 2007 and currently has over 240 members from a variety of backgrounds. General meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month commencing at 10:00am with refreshments in the Methodist Church Rooms in Lutterworth. Members are updated on current events and the activities of the various learning/interest groups and this is followed usually by a speaker who gives a presentation on a topic of general interest (Click here to see the current year's speakers and their topics). If you are interested in giving a talk to the monthly meeting please contact the Chairman. In addition, every year the group holds its Annual General Meeting in the month of March.
Several learning/interest groups have been formed by the membership and each group is coordinated and facilitated by a volunteer member. These groups meet at various times of the month in a variety of venues. (See the latest bulletin for details) All of the groups are very friendly so please do not hesitate to contact the coordinator for more information if you are interested in participating. We are always keen to expand our group base so if you have any particular interest or suggestions for a new group do not hesitate to let a member of the committee know.
The day to day running of the Club is in the hands of a Committee made up of eleven Club members who are elected by the membership at the AGM each year.
A number of social events are organised throughout the year details of which are published in the bulletin, examples being the Christmas lunch, summer outings, BBQ's and garden visits.
To join the Wycliffe Lutterworth U3A please contact the Chairman or Membership Secretary or just come along to the regular Monthly Meeting and make yourself known to any of the committee members and you can be assured of a warm welcome.
