The minimum age is 18 and there is no maximum age.

September

Please drop into the Glen Maye Chapel tomorrow (17th) or the weekend to see not only their wonderful fresh flower arrangements but also flower artwork produced by our Art and Crafts Group. The Art Group use the Chapel for their meetings and were delighted to be asked to help celebrate the 150th anniversary. Click here to view their display.

Southern Agricultural Show

If you go to the show you will see our valiant Chair, John Tottenham, once again bravely manning our u3a stand. Our strategy for the coming year is to increase membership by bringing the benefits of the u3a to all Manx residents over 18. If you see John go and chat to him or, if you can, give him a hand. Thanks to John for giving up his time. We all hope for good weather!
