Wimborne U3A
© Wimborne U3A
Please do not be put off by the 'University' in our title. All our activities are for enjoyment: there are no exams! U3A is an excellent way of following new interests and making new friends.
Wimborne U3A was formed in the summer of 2002 and offers learning, leisure and social activities for people not in full-time employment in our area. We are part of a world-wide organisation which started in France in 1972. There are 716 groups in the UK (with over 250,000 members) and 14 in Dorset (with a total of over 7030 members).
The Wimborne U3A academic year runs from 1 September to 31 August. Activities in hired accommodation take place during 30 weeks over 3 terms, though not all classes run for 30 weeks. Activities in members’ homes often continue throughout the year.
Members receive a Newsletter before the start of each term with news, social activities and the term’s class programme.

Wimborne U3A has over 480 members. We offer over 50 activities, led by enthusiastic volunteers, which means that our membership fee can remain low.
The annual subscription allows you to attend, where there are spaces, as many of our activities as you wish.
