Welcome


Lanark & District u3a is for anyone who is retired or semi-retired and those on the young side of the ‘third age’ of life who are no longer in employment.


Learn

L&D u3a is a great place to expand your knowledge with like-minded people. Whether it is gardening, discussing current topics or talking about books or poetry, there are lots of opportunities to continue learning - and if there is not a group to suit you, let's start one!

Laugh

There is a humour group where there might be great comedy from guest speakers or we might watch a comedy film or a sitcom. However, there can be uncontrolled laughter just learning a new activity when a few folk can't remember the directions. 

Live

The u3a movement contributes so much to society. It not only supports people to continue learning and engaging in life, but it draws people together and helps to build strong, connected communities. This is a vital antidote to the widespread and devastating effects of loneliness and social isolation." Says Harriet Radermacher, author of the report and Policy Manager at the Third Age Trust.

Welcome from the Chair 2025/2026

Hello to you all!

 It is that time of year again - summer is still with us, but the darker nights, and the garden, tell us that autumn and the start of the new session of the U3A is just round the corner. As usual , the 2025-26 session offers a wide and varied selection of activities - monthly open meetings, music, sport, exercise,  games, books, discussion, foreign  languages, and a lot more , so please have a look at the Lanark and District webpage for details https//lanarkanddistrictu3a.com

Remember the first of our open meetings is the 19th of September at 2pm in Lanark Memorial Hall - hope you can make it!! 

 Best Wishes
