“They were spoilt for choice with 22 of their 50 groups showcasing their activities, like beginners’ astronomy, pitch and putt, Latin and ballroom dancing, card making, chess, current affairs and digital photography.

“The day was a great success, with some people joining on the spot and more than 20 application forms taken home to complete.”

The U3A is open to people who are retired or are no longer working. Many who join find new friends and the chance to follow a wide range of interests and share skills with others.
