u3a York runs 133 groups around York.

u3a York gives people who have retired or are no longer in full time work the chance to take up educational, cultural, recreational, physical and social activities in an informal and friendly atmosphere. There are about 130 groups to choose from, most meeting on weekdays between 9am and 5pm at sites in and around York, and the branch also holds talks and events through the year. It keeps an office where volunteers can be spoken to in person, and publishes a members' magazine, The u3a York Times. Membership can be renewed online, at the office or by bank transfer.

Your local paper

Hearabouts

Stay connected with York

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.
