Welcome to Leigh Estuary u3a ... where learning never stops.
We are a group of young minded individuals. Our u3a gives a unique opportunity to enjoy many activities and numerous learning experiences for mature age people, so do come along to learn, teach, enjoy or just share your knowledge.
Our activities include card playing, music, painting, travel, languages and so much more. Visit our groups page for full details of what we get up to. What's more if there is something you are keen to do but we don't cover, then maybe that's an opportunity to start a new group.

Our July talk is by Timandra Slade
Timandra will brilliantly retell a story of bravery, capture in enemy hands and the subsequent courageous escapes of cousins Captain Jimmy Johnson of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and Captain Chris Waters of the Royal Engineers. Using a combination of personal manuscripts, photographs, sketches and letters,
Timandra chronicles the determination these soldiers had to return home through France, Spain and into Gibraltar, as their journey becomes increasingly perilous. Join author Timandra as she tells us a remarkable family story of soldiers on the run in WWII, a coincidental convergence of cousins and their, not so safe, arrival in Gibraltar.
