We are a small but friendly u3a, and our membership is growing. We now have 200 members. New Milton u3a was formed in 2011 to bring together a group of people seeking to make new friends, enjoy learning and sharing new skills and pastimes in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No previous knowledge is expected and learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive.
