University Of The 3rd Age Pretoria
University Of The 3rd Age Pretoria, The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a movement for retired members of the community, people in the ‘third age’ of their lives.
The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international learning cooperative for older people from all walks of life who are no longer in full time employment. U3A began in France in 1972, and came to RSA in 2000 with the formation of a chapter in Cape Town.

U3A Pretoria was launched on 26 February 2002 at the Pretoria Country Club under the chairmanship of Professor George McGillivray. More than one hundred people attended the inaugural meeting.
The move from Pretoria Country Club to Brooklyn Methodist Church took place during 2006. Membership then numbered around 350 and has remained thereabouts to the present day. Brooklyn Methodist Church proved to be a central and sociable venue for our activities for the past 11 years.
Venue for the quarterly meetings
With effect from 2018, the quarterly meetings will be held at 9:30 for 10:00 at our new venue: NG Kerk Skuilkrans cnr Cussonia Avenue and Jan Alberts Street, Val de Grace.
While many U3As meet monthly, the members of U3A Pretoria meet four times a year, usually the last Thursday of February, May, July and October. A talk by an invited speaker is followed by tea/coffee.
About six excursions are organised in the months in which there is no meeting.
A number of short courses are offered by U3A Pretoria members. Most of these courses take place in the home of the presenter. Course fees of R20 per session are paid to the course leader at the first session, plus the cost of any materials etc. provided.
In addition, several interest groups have been formed.
Signing up for a course
Most lists will be available in the refreshments area at the quarterly meetings. Write your name on the list available, otherwise please e-mail or phone the presenter or co-ordinator to attend any of them. Any further details regarding dates, days and times can also be obtained from the presenter or co-ordinator.
When you sign up for a course, please write your details clearly for the course presenter or co-ordinator and write the dates of the course down in your diary immediately! Course leaders are not responsible to remind members of dates of their presentations.
Note that some of the courses will only be available later in the year.
Cancellations
Please remember that once you have registered to attend any course you are obliged to attend all sessions, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so. In this case please make your apologies to the course leader as soon as possible. Many courses have long waiting lists so your failure to cancel in good time means another member is deprived of the opportunity to join that group.
Fees
The normal course fee is R20 per session (R15 for tea, R5 U3A admin levy) paid to the course leader, plus the cost of any materials provided. In some cases there may also be a venue-use fee.
Only registered U3A members may participate in courses, other than in exceptional circumstances and where space permits a guest fee of R30 per session will be charged.
Please pay all course fees at the first session.
