U3A Objectives

1. To advance the education of the public, in particular the education of older people no longer in gainful employment in Exeter and its surrounding locality.

2. The provision for leisure time and recreational activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the above persons in the interests of their social welfare.

Activities are mainly organised in small groups that meet regularly, often in each other's homes. Members, through sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, learn from each other. Exeter U3A currently offers the following groups.

Group announcements.

A warm welcome to all new members. We hope that you will join existing groups or perhaps start a new one. However there is no need to join a group unless you wish to do so. Some group meetings are held in the main Exeter College (near the Buller statue) in rooms 202/3 (the second floor) where there is easy lift access, and these meetings on Wednesday afternoons are open to everyone without prior notice. Private homes, in which some groups meet, might be limited for space, so it would be wise to contact the group leader before first attending.
