I am thinking of checking out the local one. Mort is making overtures to his.
Surely they can't all be slightly ga-ga sandalistas, can they?
-
Most of those around here are! point:
One chap I know who went along, just after he retired, found himself in a room with a bunch of people over the age of 80 .... he didn't go back.
-
Probably a fair percentage. eeek:
I've contacted two groups asking for more info. The woman I spoke to at the Harlow U3A certainly sounded ga-ga, I guessing she's the mother of the membership secretary.
-
I've just looked up my local one; I'm torn between "Old Time Music Hall" and "Stroll with a Camera" eeek: ::)

"Life Long Learning" is the theory ...... It is mainly full of boring old tossers wanting to get out of the house, looking for affordable entertainment.
TBF It is claimed that it helps people adjust to life after work and also delays the onset of dementia. Should suit Nick. ;)
I did take a serious look at it but honestly the subjects on offer here were so awful I decided against it. An atrophied brain struck me as a better option.

SWWLTBO says "Sign up ~ there is nothing daft about the WEA .... at least one of their tutors is eyes:"
She is looking over my shoulder as I type! scared2:

Been to the monthly meeting of the Ware U3A this afternoon, somehow I seem to have been roped in to help with the AV equipment. They've got some decent stuff although the wireless mic gave out halfway through the talk from the head of the Hertfordshire Archives. Fortunately we got her up and running again. Some fascinating stuff.
Anyway, I play cribbage with a group on Tuesdays. Good bunch and fairly young (relatively speaking) and I've started with a computer group as well.
There was a fair number of "ga-ga" members at the meeting but in all a good experience.
-
Excellent new Uncle and you have reminded me I meant to look into it up here when we moved.
I 'spect they do ferret ferkling and whippet wanging up here but you never know.

There is one in Barnsley U3A not Uncle that is. I can't bring myself to go. redface:

Took me a while to get "a round tuit" There's lots of groups I have no interest in but I found something I can enjoy and I've met a few new people.
Give it a go I say.
-
I know Uncle but it's Barnsley FFS. If there was one in Sheffield I would give it a go but Barnsley folk really are a law unto themselves. redface:
-
Tak along thee own whippet but do not have it in a leash ~ a bit of string is the appropriate restraint in those parts..... Oh and wear a flat 'at.
You'll fit in instantly.
