Hawkhurst U3A

​Welcome - Learn, laugh and live with Hawkhurst u3a
​Still functioning despite Covid restrictions
​

Thank you for your interest in Hawkhurst u3a, the University of the Third Age. The Third Age follows the First Age of childhood dependence and the Second Age of employment and parental responsibility. Retired and semi-retired people come together and learn together, not for qualifications but for its own reward: the sheer joy of discovery!

Anyone may join the u3a; no qualifications are required or given, and there is no age limit. Members share their skills and life experiences: the learners teach and the teachers learn, with no distinction between them. We all share our educational, creative and leisure experiences with other like-minded people.

We are all volunteers, and we support our Members in forming Interest Groups in a diverse range of subjects from Book Club to Wine Appreciation. We have over 35 Interest Groups to choose from or you may like to start another group to suit your interests. We hope there is something to interest everyone so why not check out our Groups page?

Of equal importance is the social side of Hawkhurst u3a. Coffee & Cake mornings and Pub Lunches are regular events, as well as gatherings such as a Winter Quiz or Summer Garden Party. Check out the Events page for further details.

Why not have a look below at our Group News for further details of all our activities?  We also have a regular Diary and you can find our calendar at the bottom of the Events page.

Our membership list is growing all the time; we now have over 300 members. We hope that you will join the Hawkhurst u3a, either by getting in touch with Jane, our Membership Secretary, on 01580 754731 or you can send her an email from the Contact page. Jane could send you an introductory pack. 

​As we cannot gather together for our monthly meetings we are using Zoom to enable members to watch lectures on-line on the first Thursday morning of each month.  To compensate for some of the curtailed activities a second additional lecture via Zoom has been organised for the third Monday afternoon of each month. See under Events for details.

All of this only costs £9 this year, so why not give it a try?
