WHAT IS A U3A
The University of the Third Age is a mutual aid self-help movement - a modern community of scholars and artists, catering primarily for people in the Third Age of their lives.

OUR AIMS
The overall aim of Beaudesert U3A Inc. is to provide the members with both the stimulus of mental and physical activity and the satisfaction of a continuing contribution to society. It will enable them to take up new interests and to extend old ones. It will offer the joy of learning for the sake of learning: it will open up new horizons for them - unrestricted by the requirements of vocation or the desire for qualifications, and it will do so, principally by drawing upon the extensive life experience, skills and energies of the members.

HISTORY OF U3A

Beaudesert U3A members, their partners, and friends are cordially invited to attend our "Christmas in July" lunch at St Bernards Hotel, Mt Tamborine, on Friday 13 July, 12 noon.

Cost for this event is $29.90 pp and bookings are essential. Please read the attached flyer giving full information, together with the menu and by way of explanation regarding the desserts, "alternate drop means the first person will get toffee pudding the second person will get the tart, then next pudding, then tart etc.… so they don’t get to choose, they are just put down alternatively. Everyone is more than welcome to swap between themselves."
