Derby u3a runs 55 groups around Derby.
Derby u3a is a self help, self managed, lifelong learning cooperative for retired and semi retired people of any age, run entirely by its members for its members on a voluntary basis, sharing their interests and skills. It welcomes people of every race, gender, disability, religion or belief, and sexual orientation. There are around 50 interest groups, covering everything from quizzes to psychology and from archaeology to real ale, along with creative crafts, gardens, ukulele, walks by public transport and natural history. Monthly meetings are held on the last Thursday of the month with a talk on a topic of general interest.
- Newcomers Come along to a new and prospective members meeting, which needs booking, or simply turn up to one of the monthly meetings, where there is a warm welcome at the new members table and no need to book. Ideas for new groups are welcome too

Your local paper

Stay connected with Derby
A local paper for your patch, delivered by email. Who's just started up, what's in season, when the markets are on, what's on this month, and the odd story about how a place like yours keeps its money close to home.
Good news, mostly. There's enough of the other kind about.
