Welcome
The Bury St Edmunds U3A is a self-help group of people who are no longer in full-time paid employment. We were founded in 1988 and have a membership of around 750.Our activities include:
-
A monthly lecture of educational interest, open to all members.
-
Specific-interest groups who meet at times of their own choosing. The groups frequently meet in each others houses so group sizes are necessarily small.
-
An annual Study Day on a nationally important topic, open to our members and other local U3As.
-
Educational visits and social/cultural events are organised throughout the year.
We welcome (but do not insist on!) contributions from all. If you have some specialised knowledge, please do not keep it to yourself, but join and contribute to one of our groups. Or start a group of your own choosing. Help in setting it up is available.
Proposed New Study Group
Military History
Are you interested in Military History? Would you like to join with a like-minded bunch to discuss aspects of wars, campaigns, battles, commanders etc?
A Military History Study Group is in the early days of formation and it needs more members.
We propose to meet on
the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 2 pm starting on 12 September
2012. The venue(s) will be members homes on a rota basis.
If you are interested and would like to put your
