U3A Warwick Inc

If you want to find out about U3A (University of the Third Age), keep on reading. Please note, all links in blue will take you to other websites to expand your knowledge of U3A in general. Once you feel you have a handle on it, have a browse through our Membership page and find out what is involved in joining U3A.

First we should point you to our national coordinating body, U3A Australia, which just celebrated its second birthday. U3A Australia Ltd is the peak body for 250 U3As (Universities of the Third Age) throughout Australia in all states and territories.

U3As are volunteer-led and managed community groups, offering education, social activities, and community connection. Each U3A promotes healthy ageing by sharing classes and activities provided by its own members. There are no qualifications for membership; no degrees or diplomas are awarded.

Here in Warwick we are one of 36 member organisations around the State, supported by the Toowoomba-based U3A Network Queensland. U3A Warwick Inc has more than 200 members and includes a sub-branch in Goondiwindi. Courses we run range from outdoor activities (birdwatching, walking, excursions) to games (Canasta, Samba), and classes including China Today, Cryptic Crosswords, Latin, European History, Carpet Bowls and Scottish Country Dancing. With more than 24 courses being offered, there is something for almost everyone.

Our extensive premises at 1 Tooth Street are leased long-term from Southern Downs Regional Council. The rooms have been recently renovated with new flooring and improvements to our kitchen. We also have outdoor areas which we have used for social functions. If you are interested in joining, email: secretary@u3awarwick.org.au.
