Hide AdRod Lee, chair of Littlehampton u3a, said: "Whether you are interested in playing acoustic guitar or trying line dancing, playing badminton or learning table tennis, reading books or telling tales, taking country walks or enjoying yoga, there is probably something for you among the 46 interest groups that are currently available to members at Littlehampton u3a.
"Littlehampton u3a has more than 550 members from all backgrounds who benefit from the enormous range of subjects covered by our interest groups and social activities. And if we are missing a subject that you are passionate about, then speak to one of our group co-ordinators and we will be happy to start a new group to fill that gap.
"All the groups are led by enthusiastic members who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise with other like-minded individuals. In addition to the interest groups, we have regular coffee mornings and supper clubs which are open to all our members. The u3a’s motto is ‘learn, laugh, live’, which sums us up perfectly as an organisation and as individuals.
"The u3a is a nationwide charitable organisation and we are always looking for new members. It’s a great place to make new friends and pick up on new or lapsed areas of interest, and there’s always someone willing to help if the memory is getting a little blurred."
