Wissey U3A<br />
The Wissey ‘U3A’ is one of many organisations in<br />
the UK for those who are retired or semi-retired<br />
and in their ‘Third Age’. U3As offer a combination<br />
of opportunities to study, create, socialise, and<br />
contribute to members’ overall health and wellbeing<br />
and the Wissey U3A is no exception as it offers a<br />
wide range of topics; some academic, some practical<br />
and others recreational. Although ‘Third Agers’ are<br />
encouraged to share their knowledge, skills, interests<br />
and lifetime experiences with others, many members<br />
just enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded members<br />
and the fun of rekindling passing interests they may<br />
have had in the past. The Wissey U3A has over 320<br />
members and more than 30 activity groups ranging<br />
from Art to Wine Appreciation. For those interested<br />
in physical pursuits there is Archery, Bowling (short<br />
mat or ten-pin), Croquet, Rambling, Soft-ball Tennis<br />
and Walking. As this Newsletter goes to print U3A<br />
members will be enjoying an outing to see the<br />
hilarious German comedian, Henning Wehn at Kings<br />
Lynn’s Corn Exchange and other members will enjoy<br />
the fabulous Christmas Spectacular at Thursford<br />
in December. The Wissey U3A meets on the first<br />
Thursday of every month in the Playing Field Pavilion,<br />
Holme Hale and on <strong>Nov</strong>ember 3rd the Speaker will<br />
give a presentation about ‘Town Criers’. For details<br />
