2025 Report.
Objects of Canterbury & District U3A.
A learning co-operative which draws upon the knowledge, experience and skills of its members to organise courses, interest groups, events and activities in accordance with the wishes of its membership.
The organisation exists for members to share and enjoy learning. Members are encouraged to both lead and learn.
A steady increase in membership and a full programme of courses and events took place in 2024. The numbers of members at the year end was 1,130.
We offer over one hundred courses and activities from September to April. The summer programme from May to August gives tutors and activity leaders an opportunity to run taster sessions in new subjects and ideas.
We meet on the second Wednesday afternoon of most months; the majority including an invited speaker. Course, Membership and Events tables are hosted in the lobby of St. Mary Bredin to answer queries and facilitate easier access to information for some members. Refreshments are provided. All welcome to come along and get a flavour of U3a.
Other events include a Strawberry Tea, Autumn Quiz, Bring and Share Christmas Lunch and Christmas Concert.
Day Coach Outings were also continued in 2024 and were often over-subscribed.
Robin Terry, Chair.
