Tuesday 29th April 2-4pm St Ives Corn Exchange The u3a Open Day is the perfect opportunity for adults coming up to their retirement years to explore a diverse range of creative, educational or social interest opportunities.  They will see how they can develop their interests, make new friends and have fun. Visitors will have the chance to meet existing members and explore the variety of groups on offer including arts, sciences, humanities and sport.  From painting to philosophy, languages to digital skills, the u3a offers something for everyone, no matter their backgrounds. Highlights on the day will include opportunities to discuss retirement, demonstrations and entertainment from the singing and music groups.  Free refreshments also available. “At u3a we believe that sharing interests and hobbies leads to new friendships and opportunities,” says Peter Cooper, Chair of St Ives u3a.  “Our Open Day is an ideal chance to see what’s on offer and how you can get involved.” We are especially hoping to see people who are already semi-retired, working part-time or who find they have more time on their hands, to see how joining u3a now will enhance their retirement and may even inspire some to start a new group.   With over 900 members and 60 + groups, many are full or have waiting lists, so new ideas from enthusiastic individuals are always welcome.  We all work together to make groups a success with a support team on hand and plenty of volunteers to help.
