Yate & Sodbury District u3a runs 109 groups around Yate.
Yate and Sodbury District u3a was founded in 2005 and now has more than 1,800 members, 114 interest groups and 150 named volunteers, using over 30 venues. The interest groups are listed alphabetically on the branch's groups page, each with its own details of when, where and how often it meets. Monthly General Meetings, with talks by visiting speakers, are normally held at the Town Hall in Chipping Sodbury on the first Friday of each month from 2pm until 4pm, and all members are invited. A quarterly newsletter is emailed to all members, and the branch is run by an executive committee that meets once a month.
- Newcomers Anyone can visit any one of the groups, or attend a monthly meeting, twice before joining. Membership is needed after that to comply with the branch's insurance.
- Who it is for For people who are no longer in full time employment. There is no upper or lower age limit and no qualifications to pass.

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.
