Welcome To Bridlington u3a<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\nHappy New Year from the trustees of Bridlington U3a<\/strong> and wishing you all a healthy, happy and prosperous year ahead.\n\nPlease Join us for our monthly Monday morning -10.30 onwards -meetings at the Spa Royal Hall Bridlington to learn more or join:\n\nDates for 2023:<\/strong>\n\nMonday;  13th February, 13th March, 17th April, 15th May, 19th June & 17th July. No meeting in August and Autumn dates to follow.<\/strong>\n\nFor further information or to contact use by email use, admin@bridu3a.com<\/strong>\n\nWe currently run over 80 different groups<\/span><\/strong>, ranging from sporting activities to crafts, music, discussion, languages through to a motorbiking group. You name we do it and new ideas always welcome.<\/span>\n\nOur members organise themselves into groups to learn together or socialise together. We receive no external funding and are totally self-sufficient. We occasionally apply for grants for a particular purpose or sponsorship for projects and events.<\/span>\n\nOur Members<\/strong><\/span>\n\nOur members come from a variety of backgrounds and bring a variety of skills and experience for us to share. Our Group Leaders are the mainstay of the organisation, willing to give their time and share their experiences \u2013 all on a voluntary basis.<\/span>\n\nThe \u2018Third Age\u2019 means that our members are all no longer in full time employment. The u3a mantra is LEARN, LAUGH, LIVE <\/strong>and this is what we strive to do. You are all still living - you must be to read this - so join us for fun, learning and laughter.<\/span>\n\nAs the Nike strapline says ... Just do it<\/em><\/strong><\/span>\n\nBrief History<\/strong><\/span>\n\nInternationally, the u3a started in France in 1972 but did not become a registered charity in this country until ten years later in 1982. The Third Age Trust is the National Body and all local u3as are separate groups, but affiliated.<\/span>\n\nJust last year the Trust rebranded itself and the name U3A has developed into u3a.<\/span>\n\nToday, across the UK there are over 1000 u3as with a total membership of over 450,000.<\/span>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Brid_258.jpg\" title_text=\"Brid_258\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" box_shadow_style=\"preset1\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":765,"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.u3abridlington.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
