On Wednesday 2nd June 2021 Crawley u3a will take part in a nationwide celebration to showcase the u3a organisation.

The u3a is an organisation for adults in their “Third Age” who are no longer working full time. Members come together in locally ran interest groups to share knowledge, experience and generally have a good time! Our groups include walking, outings to gardens, places of interest and theatres, music (singing and instruments), books, films, topical discussions, art and crafts, history, quizzing, science and many more with new suggestions for groups always welcome.

More details about the many groups offered by Crawley u3a can be found on their website here

The u3a National Day will showcase the amazing and diverse activities that members enjoy and challenge preconceptions of what being an older adult means.

Crawley u3a’s contribution to u3a National Day will involve displays and demonstrations in and around Crawley Bandstand in the memorial gardens between 11 am and 2 pm.

There will be displays from their interest groups including a live ukulele performance. Members will be on hand to discuss their many different groups and activities.

They are obviously mindful of the lockdown roadmap and are planning a backup virtual event should they no longer be able to meet outdoors. Details will be posted on their website.

We would love to welcome you at some time during our event when we can share our efforts at supporting the older population in the town.
