The motto of the u3a is “learn, laugh, live” and with Solihull Widney u3a group we can certainly guarantee the first two. You will learn from our speakers, activity groups and visits and you will laugh with friends as you learn.
We are a small very friendly group of “mature” people who come together to enhance our lives in retirement by sharing activities, experiences and just talking with each other. You will meet new friends and enjoy new things. If you want to find out more about us you are welcome to attend a Core Meeting as a guest or send us a message via the Contacts Page. You can be assured of a warm welcome.
