A University of the Third Age is an organisation mainly for retired or semi-retired people (but no age limit) that enables members to share many educational, creative and leisure activities. Activities are organised mainly in small groups that meet regularly to expand their interests and knowledge and make new friends.
This branch of the u3a was founded in 1996 serving the surrounding villages in the Tamar Valley. We currently have 70+ members who come from a wide area including Gunnislake, Albaston, Calstock, Chilsworthy, Cox Park, Delaware, Dimson, Kelly Bray, St Ann's Chapel and beyond the Tamar. Membership is currently £12 per annum due on 1st April (BACS payment preferred) and if you already belong to another branch from further afield the cost is only £7.50 and you are most welcome.
Our informal meetings are held at 10.30 am on the fourth Monday of each month at Gunnislake Village Hall, Fore Street, (east side, between the traffic lights) in Gunnislake. We socialise, exchange ideas and information over coffee, and regularly have talks from visiting speakers. The meetings are what you make them, and new faces are always welcome.
We publish our own newsletter and our website has all the information about our groups and upcoming events. We receive the Third Age Trust magazine five times a year, which keeps us up to date with u3a matters throughout the UK.

What our members say :
“Joining Gunnislake U3A when I moved to the area has been such a good way of meeting new people who all have the same interests as me ..... beautiful walks every week, French conversation, reading new books.”
"I initially joined this group for the walking, and over the years have enjoyed book group, Spanish and Committee work. It has also been a great opportunity to make friends."
"I am one of the nine founder members from 1996 and U3A is still an important part of my life. The groups have broadened my interests considerably but the most important benefit is the friends I've made over the years. Come along to one of our monthly meetings. You won't regret it."
