Introduction

We are the local u3a branch for retired or semi-retired people in Forth Valley (Central Scotland). We offer many ways to stretch your mind or body and to socialise with like-minded older people. This includes interest groups, general meetings, summer activities and publications. If you are no longer working or raising a family, u3a gives you the chance to develop your interests, make new friends and enjoy yourself. Come and join us, and learn, laugh and live!

Upcoming Events

Friday April 19th  Members’ Monthly Meeting – The Grand Quiz at 2pm in Holy Trinity Church Hall, Dumbarton Road, Stirling FK8 2RG

A fun afternoon with our Quizmaster, George Johnston. Will you be a member of the team triumphantly taking away a ‘valuable’ prize, or pretending that a wooden spoon will come in handy, or just somewhere in between? It’s always an enjoyable occasion and a great way of making new friends or getting together with old ones.

As usual there will be tea, coffee and home baking and a chance to chat with fellow members after the quiz.   Numbers are limited, so  we would be grateful if members would register for the event – details of how to do this will be in the April edition of the Information Update, which will be circulated at the end of March.
