The University of the Third Age
(U3A) is a grouping of autonomous, self-help organisations run by
the voluntary efforts of their members. All U3A’s are members
of the Third Age Trust (a registered charity) which is their national
support and advisory body. The word ‘university’ is
used in its original sense of people coming together to share and
pursue learning in all its forms.
The Alford & District U3A is one of several in the area and
has links with U3A’s in Louth, Skegness, Grimsby/Cleethorpes,
Market Rasen and Horncastle.
Our general monthly meeting is held on the third Thursday of each
month at the
Half Moon Hotel in Alford at 10.30 a.m. Members get together for
a coffee and to hear what the various interest groups are doing.
There is usually a guest speaker.
If you are interested in joining our U3A why not come along to
our monthly meeting? If you want to find out more first, then call

No. of study groups: 13
