Parbold,Newburgh & District U3A
Our u3a is an activity and meeting place for people who are retired or semi-retired and would like to share their interests in a friendly and sociable atmosphere.
There are various activity groups that you can join; you can start your own or help with an existing activity.
You can socialise at our venue or over a lunch; a walk; a theatre visit; or perhaps a coach trip to somewhere new.
You can hear a guest speaker on a range of interesting and amusing subjects or even give a talk of your own should you want to.
Our groups usually meet at the 'Hut-on-the-Hill' at the rear of Christ Church on Parbold Hill WN8 7TG, but some activities such as 'Crown Green Bowls' are elsewhere, in this case, Burscough.
We enjoy a varied membership with people from the surrounding areas, such as Parbold; Newburgh; Wrightington; Appley Bridge; Shevington; Standish; Aspull and further afield.
We welcome new ideas for group activities or one-off sessions. Recently we have added 'Yoga' and 'Tai Chi' classes to our regular sessions.
You are encouraged to come along to one of our 'Horizons' meetings where we socialise; followed by a talk from a guest speaker. These are on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday afternoon each month. This is an opportunity to find out more about what we do; meet others and how you can join.
Current membership fees are £14 for the year and then £3 for each group session/activity, including refreshments.
New members are offered 2 session activities for free, so you can 'try before you buy'.
