Open Meetings: These will usually be held, as they were pre-pandemic, on the 1st Monday of the month, in St Aidan’s Hall, Church St, from 10.30am – 12noon, with tea & coffee available from 10am.
Interest Group Meetings: On individual group pages you’ll find more information, and there’s also a contact form to email the group leader with any questions.
Berwick u3a is an organisation for retired and semi-retired people living in the town, and surrounding areas. We aim to bring people together for learning, leisure, fitness and fun. We have over three hundred members and over fifty active groups, covering a huge range of interests. Each of the groups is run by a volunteer leader; any of our members can set up a group and become a group leader, as long as the chosen activity is suited to the vision of the u3a.
It is easy to join Berwick u3a. All you need to do is fill in the short application form and pay the annual fee of £13. You will then be free to join as many or as few groups as you wish. For practical reasons, some of our groups need to limit their numbers; for example, some meet in members’ homes, where space is limited. If you find that a group you are interested in is full, please use our Contact Us form to let us know. There may be other members who are interested in setting up a new group.
We hold an open meeting each month, usually on the first Monday. These meetings are free of charge to members. Open meetings provide an opportunity to socialise and to enjoy presentations from invited speakers. Non-members are welcome to attend one open meeting to sample what is on offer.
Some of our activities are free, while others make a small charge to cover the cost of room hire. Outings and theatre visits are costed to cover transport, entrance fees, ticket, etc. We always aim to keep charges as low as possible. For further details check the groups.
We publish free newsletters during the year to keep you informed of our activities and events. For the most up-to-date information, please check the News & Events section of this website.
