HISTORY
The U3A was founded in Britain more than 20 years ago; currently there
are 560 U3As with nearly 150 000 members. Each U3A is democratic, autonomous
and self managed and aims to provide education and leisure facilities
for men and women who are no longer in full-time employment. Drawing
on the knowledge, skills and experience of its members, self-help groups
are organised in such diverse fields as art, foreign languages, music,
history, sciences, literature and poetry, digital photography, crafts
and computing.
In addition to the self help groups there are general meetings to which
all members are invited.
By joining the recently launched Mayfield and District
U3A you will become a member of a dynamic forward-looking organisation.
The annual subscription is £12 per person and £20 for two
people at the same address.
