About
Us
In 1994 Eric and Doreen Dumpleton heard about
the
U3A. They got in touch
with the Head Office to
learn that a successful branch had already been established in Burnham-on-Sea
and that they might be able to provide
information about
setting up a branch in Weston-super-Mare. Eric and Doreen enlisted the aid of Jan and
Pam Berg,and the four
of them set up a meeting to see if a branch could be started.
The meeting was a great success, with
about 150 people
turning up. By the time it was over, U3A Weston was born. It has gone on from
strength to strength
and it is now one of Weston-super-Mare's best known organisations
catering for retired people in the
town. Over six hundred
members enjoy the fellowship of some sixty different groups. (The figure of six hundred was correct
when this page was first published a couple of years ago. Now in April 2008 the
figure is 840)
