Who we are
Wrekin u3a is a friendly and welcoming group for people in the area who are in later life.
We have a wide range of Events and special Interest Groups, from Art Appreciation to Walking Groups, and from Craft Groups to Tai Chi. The vibe is informal, relaxed and open to new ideas – it’s run by people like you for people like you.
Monthly general meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 2.15pm except December.

It is packed with stories about members' and u3a activities, plus celebrity interviews and features on technology, recipes, travel, competitions, and a lively and popular letters section. How to receive u3a matters: u3a matters is available to any u3a member. It is sent automatically for their first year and a bit. After that, every November each member needs actively to re-affirm that they still want to receive it. You can read extracts from the magazine here
