The University of the Third Age or U3A as it is known, is an institution that I am planning to join in the New Year. All U3A branches are organised into groups with various interests. I’ve been through the groups offered by The Gosport Branch. There are several that I am very interested in and will definitely make an initial visit.
In addition to the groups, there’s a monthly meet that is open to all members , that usually includes a talk. It’s usually on a Wednesday, and because of Grand Daughter Duties anything on a Wednesday or Thursday can be awkward, but I’m sure I will be able to get away for one, at least.
I do wonder if I am taking it all a little bit too seriously. The groups are meant to be fun, I think. But I will have to wait until I actually start going.
There is one minor problem, there are some topics that aren’t covered by groups that I’m interested in. I wonder what can be done about that? – That’s a rhetorical question, I know the answer, but do I want to do it. Certainly not for the first few months. I have been chatting with ChatGPT about it, and it has actually come up with some quite good suggestions. I’ll keep those in the mind.
