The Virtual U3A (vU3a),
which went live in January 2009, is an online-only U3A, affiliated to the Third
Age Trust. One of its principal aims is to provide the U3A experience for those
who are rendered isolated in some way by circumstances or geography and unable
to play a full part in a terrestrial U3A. More information is available on the
public website www.vu3a.org where one can also
apply for membership. Why not pay it a visit? And if you know of anyone who
might benefit, please pass the information on. Peter Johnston Virtual U3A (Peter Johnson adds in his email to us.. "Please be assured that vU3A is in no way intended as an alternative to or
competition for your U3A or any others. It has a unique goal, as the text makes
clear, and is intended to serve very specific needs." People can become members of this 'non-terrestrial' U3A for £12.00/yr by going to www.vu3a.org. D Wynne) |
