Torrevieja U3A                                About us What is the U3A? To quote from the official website “U3As are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co-operatives for older people no longer in full time work, providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualifications, but for fun.” .... and the Torrevieja branch is no different. All Learning Groups are organized and operated by the members who share their knowledge gained from Industry or Vocational occupations. Teaching is very informal and can be used to help in your daily life (languages, confident driving), provide a hobby (calligraphy, water colour painting) or just for fun and exercise (walking, tai chi). Many groups are free to take part in, but some impose a small charge to cover the cost of room-hire or materials used etc. In addition to Learning Groups the U3A acts as a great social club enabling members to meet each other for events and outings or even fully organized trips to other countries. How to join. Visit one of our monthly general meetings where you will be greeted and briefly introduced to the club and you may attend as a visitor. (You can do this twice for a visitor's fee of €2 per visit.) If you decide to join Torrevieja U3A, membership currently costs €12 for the year or €6 after June 1st. Renewal of your membership each year is at that year's annual rate no matter what time of year you renew. Where? Our monthly meetings are held at Los Arcos Restaurant, Avd. Baleares 34, Torrevieja, usually on the last Thursday of the month. The U3A is a world wide organization with independant branches from Canada to Siberia to New Zealand to South Africa.
