The Virtual U3A


There is now an opportunity for those who are in some way isolated by circumstances or geography, and who would therefore be unable to play a full part in a terrestrial U3A, to benefit from a U3A experience.

The Virtual U3A (vU3A), which went live in January 2009, is an online-only U3A. Like other U3As, it is affiliated to the Third Age Trust.

The vU3A has study groups run by volunteers, just like other U3As, and members are encouraged to join in a discussion with other members. Although in its infancy, the vU3A has already set up a number of groups, including Current Affairs, History, Art Appreciation, Books and Reading, and Digital Photography.

More information is available on the public website www.vu3a.org where one can also apply for membership. Why not pay it a visit? And if you know of anyone who might benefit, please pass the information on.
