University of the Third Age - U3A

The U3A are a national group with a very active Leighton Linslade section.

The name comes from the division of people's lives into four stages. The first age is young people in full-time education; the second is when money and time may not be so plentiful such as when a family and other commitments come along.
The third age, which for most people means retirement, finds many people who are still active and independent but without many of the ties of the second age. The kids may have left home, the mortgage may be smaller or paid and full time work has finished.

This is the opportunity to study and learn more about the subjects you have always been interested in but never had the time to pursue.

However the U3a is more than just study, they have a lively and varied program of activities. For example guest speakers give talks on all subjects, history, travel, their lives and experiences. Visits to museums, galleries and stately homes are organised and much more

The Leighton Linslade group produce a highly entertaining and informative newsletter with details of what’s going on in the area

They meet at Brooklands School, Brooklands Drive on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 2.15 pm. Visit their website for details.
