The whole concept of U.3.A. is that members with life skills pass on their knowledge and engage the interest of others in continuing to learn and expand their horizons and this was too good to keep to just a few enthusiasts, and so posters went up in libraries, advertisements appeared in local papers and friends were enlisted. As a result our Start-Up Meeting attracted quite a few Members. The Keighley Third Age Group has grown from strength to strength and now has approx. 120 Members

Members get together monthly, usually with a speaker, and socialises. Guests are also welcome at the monthly meetings to meet members and find out what we are about. KEIGHLEY has a summer break in July and August when there are no meetings. There are occasional visits to places of interest, often subsidised for U3A members. We have a Facebook page which gives details of current events - Keighley U3A - feel free to join.
