The purpose of U3A, (An international organisation), is to encourage further learning by listening, understanding, contributing and participating in discussion and relevant excursions about new topics.

There are just under 1000 members in Tauranga, with around 100 groups the members can join, from interests including Jazz and Blues, Current Affairs, History, Geology, to Hiking or even Ethnic Dining! Meetings are held in the members’ homes or in local halls. More

Once a month the members can meet at the Tauranga Yacht Club for a social morning where invited keynote speakers present illustrated talks of major interest.
