Perth u3a regularly publishes news and information on this website. In addition, information about forthcoming events, news about groups and other notices for members are collected together in our News Roundups, and members with email are alerted to the publication of a new edition. This is usually after each Open Meeting.

Registration 2026

Our registration day held at St Matthews seemed extra busy this year. Members, new and old (that is, they had already joined in a previous session, not a comment on their age), were able to speak to group leaders, join groups and renew friendships after the summer break.

Our 40th birthday!

On Monday 4 May, after our AGM, we celebrated our 40th anniversary. We listened to a historical talk given by a former Chair, Robert Proctor, and a talk with sung musical illustrations given by Nicky Small of PlaidSong. The photos below also feature Jon Babb, the newly elected Chair, giving votes of thanks to Robert and Nicky.

Following a break for a sandwich lunch, we enjoyed performances by our Ukulele group and by Semi-Tones (our rock/blues/pop group), a demonstration by our Tai Chi group, a play reading from our Armchair Theatre group, and Ceilidh Dancing with audience participation. Static displays included knitting projects, themed photographs and pieces of creative writing. All told, we celebrated the depth and breadth of Perth u3a group activities.
