The University of the Third Age is an international movement dedicated to lifelong learning and gives participants a chance to pursue interests in the company of others. Bay wide, U3A groups hold regular meetings in people's homes, cafes, restaurants, churchs, halls and the outdoors, members learning from one another. Peter Wood is president of U3A Rotorua and says the organisation is enjoying its highest membership yet. Lectures were held at the University of Toulouse, but it quickly evolved to become less formal learning, groups now meeting in places such as homes and cafes, and members learning from one another.
