Welcome to Pontyclun u3a
Croeso i Brifysgol y Drydedd Oes Pontyclun
u3a is a UK wide movement that gives the opportunity for retired and semi-retired people to come together to develop new skills, share interests and make new friends in an informal and friendly atmosphere.
We are a thriving local group with over 200 members and 20 interest groups.
If you are retired or semi-retired and feel like a new challenge, or you'd like to rekindle a past interest and make new friends, we'd love to meet you. Come along to one of our monthly meetings - see our Events page. Or have a look at one of our Groups. We are sure you will find something to interest you. You are welcome to try any of our interest groups for one month free of charge. Just go to the relevant Group page and click the link to contact the Group Leader.
There is also plenty of useful information on the main u3a website and you can sign up for the new Friends Extra u3a newsletter which gives you access to discounts on shopping, holidays etc.
