We are revising the 'Links' page on the site to provide members with better access to the policies and documents which determine the way in which Wirksworth and District u3a is run.
For a start we have provided links to the four policies which all u3as must adopt...Safeguarding, Equality/Diversity/Inclusion, Data Protection and Health and Safety Policy.
To learn more about these policies, the u3a at national level offer regular short (2 hours) Zoom Training Sessions on these themes. For further information, please contact Kay Mathur through the website

The 2025 AGM was held on 1st October at The Maltings.
Lake District Holiday
Members of Wirksworth u3a had a great holiday in the Lake District in early October. There were 21 participants in total, mostly Wirksworth u3a members plus one or two friends. They stayed at the HF Holidays Derwentbank hotel near Keswick.
Some people took part in the guided walks which went to Whinlatter Forest, Borrowdale and Patterdale. Others did their own choice of walks or explored the local area by bus, visiting Buttermere, Ambleside and Grasmere. Nearby Keswick was also explored, with a few people finding their way to the pencil museum.
They also got together in the evenings, just missing out on the quiz victory! All in all a lovely short break, and a good way of getting to know other people.
