u3a Luton celebrates 30 years
Happy New Year to all readers from u3a Luton!
The Executive Committee and members of u3a Luton would like to wish all the readers of Luton News & Dunstable Gazette a very happy and interesting New Year.
In December 2025, we had our festive general meeting with a marvellous entertainer, Richard Stark who entertained us with festive carols, modern Christmas songs and a rousing 'Twelve Days of Christmas' which started our festivities off.
We enjoyed mince pies and the Chair's Festive Charity Shop Jumper Competition. Three prizes were up for grabs and we had 27 members who took part. It was all great fun!
In this year of 2026, our organisation in Luton is 30 years old, and we would like to extend a warm welcome to you all to join us for our Anniversary Event at Christchurch, Bushmead, Luton on Saturday, 18th April, from 10.30am until 4pm.
We would love to welcome you there and see what we can offer you. It is a free event so do come and join us.
The Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire will be there to cut our celebration cake, and there will be lots of information, including the history of u3a Luton, and a film showing what our members get up to in the many interest groups we enjoy, from crochet to croquet, and photography to philosophy, reading to writing!
Our MOTO Group (Members On Their Own) welcomes those who are on their own, and they get together for coffee, visiting local hostelries and theatres – so much more fun with someone to talk to, than being on your own!
You will be able to chat to our group leaders, committee members and ask questions about u3a Luton. You will even be able to sign up as a member there and then if you think it is something you would like to be part of!
Our website will tell you all about us! Just go to https://luton.u3asite.uk
Looking forward to seeing you!
Carole Chamberlain, Vice Chair, u3a Luton
