U3A Tygerberg 

U3A Tygerberg is an organisation for retirees and semi-retirees who are eager to stay active, social, and engaged in learning. We are a community-focused, non-profit organisation that brings together people in their later years for a wide range of educational and recreational activities. We offer an affordable way to explore new interests and make friends with like-minded people.

U3A Tygerberg is part of the worldwide University of the Third Age (U3A) network.

This branch (U3A Tygerberg) services the needs of people living in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, such as Durbanville, Bellville, Kenridge, Stellenberg, Kraaifontein and Kuils River.

Members have access to many interest groups covering an impressive range of activities – from birding and nature walks to bridge, yoga and wine appreciation. With unique offerings like French for Beginners and German Conversation; music appreciation, board and card-game mornings, there is truly something for everyone.

Most groups meet during the day, and each session typically requires only a nominal R5-R10 fee, though if lunch, breakfast or entrance fees are involved, these are for the person’s own account. 

General meetings

As well as interest group meetings at various locations, we have a general meeting on the second Thursday of each month (except January and December) to bring everyone together, at which we have a guest speaker. Tea and coffee is served from 09:00 and the presentation begins at just after 10.00

At every meeting a monthly bulletin is handed out or emailed to those who have email. This contains announcements about interest groups or relevant changes, outings and administrative news. Contributions to the bulletin are welcomed and should be emailed to the chairman, Malcolm Wood, at malcolm61664@gmail.com  before the end of the month prior to publication.
