Ely & District u3a runs 55 groups around Ely.

Ely and District u3a is part of the national u3a movement for people no longer in full time work, run entirely by the voluntary effort of its members. It has more than 40 interest groups, some for furthering knowledge and others for exercise, socialising, crafts and skills, and it also runs a programme of outings and holidays. A monthly talk and social is usually held at the Countess Free Church in Ely and is free to members. Groups are led by volunteers who are not necessarily experts, and members are expected to help run them. Members receive a monthly branch newsletter and the national u3a magazine.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Ely

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.








Just the district, TQ9, never your full address.

Your postcode does one more thing. It's a show of hands for your own patch. Every signup tells the bakers, growers and makers nearby that their neighbours are behind them, and that count is what convinces the next one to put themselves on the map. More of us backing local means more to buy, closer to home.

We haven't sent the first one yet. Sign up now and you'll be there for it.
