Over the winter months a lot of litter has accumulated around the Village. The District Council can supply bags, litter grabbers and high visibility vests and remove litter collected.  All we need now are volunteers to help. Bags and HIGH Viz jackets are now available at the Village Bar.

Welcome to the North Cotswold U3A

The Third Age Trust was developed from an organisation in France. A public meeting was held in Cambridge in 1981 from which a similar organisation capable of organising their own activities and providing the skill and expertise needed was developed. The first age is learning at school., the second is learning at work and the third age is when that is over and you can learn what ever you like.

Who are we?

We are local people like you living in the North Cotswolds. Begun in 1996 we now have over 30 interest groups and 300 members drawn from towns as far apart as Shipston on Stour, Blockley, Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Campden, Broadway, Evesham, Stow on the Wold and Winchcombe and the many villages within this area including Weston-sub-Edge. We are also members of the Cotswold Link network of local U3A’s

Our Aims

To provide a framework so that lives can be enriched as we extend old skills, find new interests and make new friends while sharing the knowledge, skill and expertise of our members. All are most welcome and no academic qualifications are needed.

How our U3A works

We hold regular monthly open meetings at Willersey Village Hall together with over 30 smaller interest groups who hold their own meetings at various village halls within the area and at members homes.

Meetings are held during the day. We publish a regular Newletter containing the latest news, updates and group information and forthcoming events together with all contact details.

When you have been with us for a while and if you have expertise in any subject and would be willing to share it please let us know. You may wish to help with running a group or becoming part of the (Committee) where help is always welcome.

The New Age Curling Group meet from 10.00am to 12.00 noon on the 4th Monday of the month. This is a sport that is played with ‘stones’ which have to be sent from one end of the court to a target at the other end.  Scoring is determined by the number of stones closest to the centre of this target.   It is usually played in teams of four, two teams to each set of stones. If you are interested in joining this group please contact Daphne Bell on 01386 840182.  More details here.
