WELCOME TO RUTHIN AND DISTRICT U3A

Beth yw Prifysgol y Drydedd Oes?

Rhwydwaith genedlaethol o grwpiau dysgu yw’r P3O gyda’r amcan o annog pobl hŷn i rannu gwybodaeth, sgiliau, a diddordebau mewn amgylchedd cyfeillgar.

Dim gwaith cartref a dim arholiad. Ceir grwpiau diddordeb neu wersi cyffredin. Dysgu am hwyl ydy’r pwynt nid ennill cymwysterau

Pwy sy’n cael dod i’r grwpiau P3O?

Nid oes cyfyngiad oedran , ond mae P3O ar gyfer pobl sydd yn eu ‘Trydedd Oes’ sef wedi ymddeol neu hanner ymddeol. O’r herwydd, bydd yn denu llawer o aelodau sy’n 50 ac yn hŷn. Nid oes unrhyw derfyn isaf i oedran aelodaeth.

Ble mae’r grwpiau P3O yn cyfarfod?

Mae P3O yn dymuno bod mor gyraeddadwy ag y bo modd ac fe gynhelir y grwpiau mewn lleoliadau amrywiol. Mae’r grwpiau’n cyfarfod naill ai yng nghartref rhywun neu mewn ystafell yn y llyfrgell, yr eglwys neu’r ganolfan gymuned. Bydd costau llogi yn cael eu rhannu ymhlith y bobl sy’n dod. Mae’r costau’n fach oherwydd mai grwpiau mawr yn unig fydd yn llogi ystafell.

What is the University of the Third Age?

U3A is a nationwide network of learning groups aimed at encouraging older people to share their knowledge, skills and interests in a friendly environment.

There are no exams and no homework, just regular lessons or interest groups. It’s learning for fun, not with the aim of gaining qualification.

Who can attend a U3A group?

There are no age limits but the U3A is for people in their ‘third age’ - retired or semi-retired. For this reason it attracts a lot of members aged 50 and over. However, there’s no lower age membership.

Where do U3A groups meet?

U3A aims to be as accessible as possible – groups are held in various locations. Groups meet either at somebody’s home, or in a room in a local library, church or community centre. Any costs for renting premises are shared between those attending. Consequently these costs are minimal as only larger groups would rent premises.

What activities are available?

/In Ruthin these are some of the group activities which are currently available:-

Badminton abd Table Tennis • Bird Watching for Fun • Canasta • Hill Walking • Creative Writing Cycling •Film / Drama discussion • Flower arranging • French Life and Language • Geology • History • History of Ideas • Introduction to Philosophy • Ladies Social Coffee Group • Low level walking • Music Appreciation • Petanque • Pickleball • Poetry for pleasure • Reading / Book Club • Recorders • Rubber Bridge • Rusty Badminton • Singing • Snooker • Spanish Beginners • Strollers with Canines • Sustainable Living • Ukulele • Whist

Anyone is welcome to start their own interest group and support will be given to help you do this. We also have a monthly meeting where we can get together to listen to a speaker, enjoy a cup of tea and have a catch up with friends. These meetings are held in Ruthin Rugby Club on the last Tuesday morning every month. The exceptions to this are August, when we do not have a full meeting, and December when we hold our Christmas party earlier in the month. Each group has its own volunteer leader or co-ordinator who has an interest or expertise in the particular subject.

Special Events

We also have occasional special events. These have included a coach trip to Liverpool, coach trip to the Manchester Christmas Markets, Body Shop Parties, First Aid training, Film shows, an Annual Christmas Party, Summer strawberry and cream events and a Charity Whist Drive. All these events were free to our members.

Membership

We currently have over 200 members. It costs just £15 a year to join us. If you would like more information please contact the Chairperson, Michael Van Der Eijk on mikevandereijk1112@btinternet.com Alternatively if you would like to join please contact Dave Hislop, Membership Secretary on dmhislop@gmail.com
