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!

What a great morning we had at our March Open Meeting – Gardeners Question Time

Our panel of experts proved to be just that and if you want to know what they suggested the answers to the questions are in the attached document, enjoy!

APPLES AND PEARS. A HISTORY OF ORCHARDS IN THE SCOTTISH BORDERS AND NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND

             by JOHN TOWNER and ELIZABETH TOWNER

Orchards have been a feature of the landscape in the Scottish
Borders and north Northumberland since monastic times. This book traces the history of orchards in this area from their rise in the early 12th century to their decline by the early 20th century and their recent revival. We are delighted to welcome the authors to our Open Meeting this month to talk about all things fruity!

Looking forward to seeing lots of you there and as ever the meeting is open to non members and members alike. Refreshments from 10 with talk starting at 10:30.
