A lot of older people here saw that they needed one and started it about three years ago.....I'm in three groups and they are all afternoon or morning...it is set up for older people, retired or not working,I meet people from 50s to 90....all learning something!
There is a glossary if you click on Acronyms at the top of the page. You won't find U3A there as it stands for University of the 3rd Age. That acronym is used by the wider population not just GN.
Its University of the Third Age hedy47 if you google it you'll see what its all about and also if you look high up on the page to the blue banner at the right hand end it says Acronyms which will help you.
What does U3A mean? As a fairly new member I find it off-putting trying to figure out the many abbreviations that appear on this site. Perhaps someone could make up a glossary?
