Laugh, live and learn with the Radcliffe-on-Trent U3A.
We are part of a national network of U3As offering people who are no longer in full-time employment the opportunity for late life learning, fellowship and enjoyment. Members share their wide variety of skills and experiences through monthly meetings, addressed by interesting speakers, as well as through a wide variety of social activities and outings.
Radcliffe-on-Trent U3A
In collaboration with
“I am thrilled that in the continuing absence of our Thursday Meetings we have arranged for our Speaker for September to be broadcast by Notts TV.” – Malcolm McDowell, Chair
Barrie Page – who was due to be our September speaker – was recently filmed by Notts TV. Watch the full unedited programme here.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place?
Barrie Page has worked and climbed in over 20 countries – in deserts, on glaciers and ice caps, Pacific Islands, savannahs and in tropical jungles. His time living in tents, bivouacs and ice caves adds up to over five years – including encounters with reptiles and various animals whom did not necessarily have his best interests at heart!
COVID-19: UNFORTUNATELY ALL MONTHLY MEETINGS AND TRIPS ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
An Urgent Appeal
There is much community support taking place in Radcliffe and the surrounding area, wonderfully orchestrated by The Parish Council, other groups and individuals, formally and informally. It is becoming apparent there are pockets of people who are suffering real deprivation as this dreadful crisis continues to unfold.
One response is via The Parish Council. The Grange Hall is open 9am to noon , Monday to Friday, to collect non perishable food to distribute to those who really need it. There is a socially isolated table to deposit any items which will be cleared by The Grange Hall Manager and then distributed by Parish Council volunteers.
If you think you are able to donate may I thank you so much on behalf of your u3a who wish to support this initiative.
Stay Safe, Stay Alert.”
Malcolm Chair.
Following the Government and NHS announcement yesterday, the Third Age Trust has created a dedicated page on the national website to keep you up to date with the latest guidance and advice – both general and specific to U3A.

New Groups
We are pleased to confirm that we have added two new groups to our ever growing list of active groups. These groups are in the early stages of formation so more details to follow. Keep an eye on the iPad Group page and the Church Visit Group page on our website. Contact the group leaders via our Group Leaders Contact Form page.
Volunteer Required
In March 2021 our Treasurer will retire from the role. Yes 2021 is correct. This role benefits from some lead in time and hand over, particularly as during this year we plan to move onto a new and simplified U3A accounting system.
Is it you ? Do you know someone ? Please help.
This is self evidently one of our most senior and critical roles. It is also satisfying, stimulating and fun working in a committed and talented committee team.
Please contact Malcolm, our Chairman via the contact page, choosing ‘Other general enquiry’ from the list.
Have Your Details Changed?
It is really important that you advise us of changes, e.g. change of status, email address changes, address changes etc. Please advise any changes via our Contact Form (choose Membership from the drop-down list).
