North Norfolk U3A Home Page
Welcome to the North Norfolk U3A Website.
North Norfolk U3A is part of a UK wide movement that brings together people who are in their “third age” to develop their interests, share knowledge and experience, and continue to learn in a friendly and informal environment. We are a co-operative self-help organisation with a membership of over 750.
Our interest groups have opened up again, although some are still working together online in a variety of ways from email book clubs to jazz sessions on Zoom. We issue a monthly Newsletter, with plenty of ideas for things to do. We have Monthly meetings at Blakeney Village Hall, as well as one on-line.
The Third Age Trust have made a short film, voiced by Sam Mauger the CEO, that explains what this amazing movement is all about. To watch it click here

The Trouble without Wasps
Dr Ian Bedford informed, and sometimes appalled, members at the monthly meeting in May with his talk about wasps, their life cycles and habits, and why a world without wasps would be an ecological and economic disaster. He started by telling us that “Speksphobia” is the word to describe those with a fear of wasps. No-one owned up or left the meeting at that point, but quite a few wriggled a little.
