Membership
U3A Gympie provides a stimulating learning and social environment for senior members of the community who are interested in engaging with others to keep their minds active. There are no ability limits and no entry requirements, though some classes may require some level of prior experience (see details in the Course Descriptions) – and there are NO examinations!
Want to learn a language? Need to know more about your computer, IPad or smart phone? How about drawing, line dancing or yoga? You can do all these and more in the company of friends.
Tutors and office bearers provide their services free. Costs are kept as low as possible. The annual membership fee is $20.

The cost of Social Activities varies. Some are either free or at a commercial venue where you can decide how much to spend. Other Activities carry a cost which is advised well ahead of time.
Every Tuesday during each term, we meet for lunch at venues that are listed in our monthly class & activity schedule. Prospective members often use this function as a chance to find out more about us.
We have recently moved into permanent office space. Eventually you will be able to drop in and pay for membership and/or classes fees. Meanwhile there are a number of alternatives available.
