AWAKE: The u3a Group for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella
“Nobody needs to stop learning just because they have finished working.”
The University of the Third Age (u3a) is for people who want to keep active in mind and body, enjoy socialising and are no longer in full time employment.
AWAKE u3a, along with all other u3a groups throughout the country, sets out to provide stimulating activities for those who are retired from full-time employment. We have over 40 interest groups both large and small, including local history, walking, computer skills, French and jazz appreciation.
You can see some of our Interest Groups in the display below. For a full list of all our Interest Groups, and for further details, please click on the 'Groups' link at the top of this page.
We hold a monthly meeting for all members at St Andrews Memorial Hall, Kirkella, usually on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 2.00 - 4.00pm. The meetings include a guest speaker, refreshments and interest group updates. These meetings are a good opportunity to meet other members. For full details of future meetings please click on the 'Events' link at the top of this page.
