I'm actually second generation U3A. Mum joined decades ago in Yorkshire to learn French, when my sister moved to live near Paris.
I joined ours here in Ipswich, Queensland Australia just over 12 months ago: I'm a writers' group and the performance group. I've made friends and had so much fun. Our fees are A$30 a year - just under 20 pounds I think, but no other fees or charges once that is paid.
There's loads more I could do: Indonesian, French, Spanish and German are on offer - I wouldn't mind doing Spanish - but I can't get away for more than one day a week.
They have other stuff such as mah jong, cards, various crafts, music, line dancing, circle dancing, contract law, philosophy, discussion groups, history, biology.........
