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
The history of U3A and how they operate is on this page.

There was a good turnout for the Beaudesert U3A Monthly Luncheon with 31 attending, including some new members for the first time. Meals were of excellent quality and very good service. Probably the best visit here yet. There appeared to be competition amongst some members trying eat the most dessert. No names, Just photos!

A number of Beaudesert Groups are to extend their Get Savvy activities in an effort to encourage Seniors to keep fit. Beaudesert U3A will be keeping their Croquet, Nordic Walking, Table Tennis, Social Tennis and Computer/Technology Groups open to non-members during the Term Two months of April - June, a nine week period, giving Beaudesert people a chance to participate in physical activities that are not too demanding. Attendance to each class session is $2.00 which also covers insurance. People will be given the opportunity to join U3A additional activities following this trial period.

BRYAN ILES is a tutor at U3A Brisbane where he runs a class called Experiencing China. This programme looks at the history, geography, ethnicity of China as well as the rapid development over the past 30 years.
Each year he arranges a 2-week tour to China for U3A members. This year they are going to explore the Silk Road from the far west of China to Xian where you will marvel at the Terracotta Warriors.
Members of Beaudesert U3A are very welcome to participate in this tour and a flyer giving all details appears below for your information.

Please contact Bryan Iles through the email address on the Flyer below.
