Enjoy the u3a Experience
learn ~ laugh ~ live


Welcome to Duns & District u3a

u3a members come from all walks of life. We are busy staying active, making new friends and learning together. There is no upper age limit – and no lower limit either, although our members are likely to be retired or semi-retired.

  • Come to a monthly open meeting in the Volunteer Hall on the second Tuesday of each month to socialise with other members and hear speakers on a wide range of interesting topics
  • Join as many of our interest groups as you like – ranging from tap dancing to modern languages, to arts and crafts, book groups and opera appreciation – to name just a few

There is so much to do – and if you can’t find what you are looking for in our programme, why not see if there are other people with a similar interest who would like to join you in a new group. All our group leaders and committee members are volunteers – sharing a love of learning and a zest for life!

Would you like to join our u3a? Go to our Membership page to download your enrolment form.

Coming Soon

Please join us at our next Open Meeting at the Volunteer Hall Duns on Tues Feb 10th . Non members are really welcome and there will be teas and coffee available from 10 am. Hope to see you there!

Our speaker this month is Paul Whiting.  Paul is an avid Outreach Astonomer who has travelled widely, chasing solar eclipses and the aurora. Among the more obscure places visited include Siberia, a small Pacific atoll, Easter Island, Galapagos and the Falkland Islands, Svalbard and Antarctica (twice) as a cruise lecturer and specialist holiday guide/host.  We hope you can join us for coffee at 10am before the talk which begins at 10.30am.
