Melbourn and District u3a runs 27 groups around Melbourn.

Melbourn and District u3a is for retired and semi-retired people who want to keep active in mind and body. Started in 1994, it has around 400 members drawn mainly from South Cambridgeshire and North Hertfordshire, and about 30 groups covering walking, yoga, music, painting, aviation history and current affairs among much else. The branch is run by its members, who organise the activities themselves, and a small team looks after membership, books speakers and keeps everyone in touch. There is a monthly meeting with a speaker, a monthly newsletter, and access to the online events and support of the national body.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with Melbourn

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.
