Burnham u3a is a group which offers non-formal learning through self-help interest groups covering a range of topics and activities. There is no minimum age, but a focus on people who are no longer in full-time employment or raising a family. Many of the 30 or so Interest Groups meet in members’ homes, some larger groups in local venues or the great outdoors, and sporty ones at Dengie Sports Centre.
In addition to all our Interest Groups we hold a General Meeting once a month on the 1st Friday at the Village Hall in Burnham (Carnival Hall). As well as notices and announcements and a chance to chat over tea and biscuits with other members and group leaders, we also have a speaker to entertain and educate us for 45 minutes or so.
The Burnham-On-Crouch u3a is a Registered Charity – No. 1091017
A copy of our constitution is available here.
A Brief History of Burnham-On-Crouch u3a is now available here.

Committee
Committee members are elected each year by the membership at the Annual General Meeting, which in recent years has been held in June. They may hold office for up to 3 years, after which they have to step down from their post (although in some circumstances they may be re-elected in a different role, subject to an overall limit of 9 years in any combination of roles). Others may be co-opted as members of the committee.
