Sometimes, a morning just gets brighter! Our first seated yoga session was a wonderful success, bringing together a lovely group of u3a members for a relaxing and enjoyable morning.

Alison, a qualified yoga teacher, led the group through a gentle seated yoga session, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy some movement and focus on their wellbeing in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the session, and a big thank you goes to Alison for making it such a lovely experience.

We’re already looking forward to our next session on 6 November, and we can’t wait to do it all again!

Turkish Night.

🌟 Dining Out Group Success! 🌟

Around 40 members enjoyed a fabulous evening tonight at Istanbul Kitchen & Bar in town. The delicious Turkish food, wonderful company, and brilliant atmosphere made for a truly memorable night.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and to all those who helped organise and support the event. It was fantastic to see so many members enjoying a great evening together.

We look forward to the next Dining Out Group outing! 😊🍽️🇹🇷

A coach load of Barnsley u3a members have enjoyed a truly lovely day in Lincoln, thoughtfully organised by the Travel Team. Members explored the historic castle and magnificent cathedral, taking in their rich heritage and stunning surroundings. A leisurely stroll along the waterfront added to the charm of the day, with plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

To make the occasion even more special, the Red Arrows treated us to a spectacular fly-past—an unforgettable highlight that rounded off a perfect day.

A Wonderful Day Out in Lincoln

Theatre Group

Another super afternoon with the theatre group!

Nineteen members met for lunch at Caffè Piazza in Sheffield before heading to the Lyceum to see To Kill a Mockingbird. It was an excellent production — so engrossing that we forgot to take any photos at the theatre!

What a happy bunch of ladies. A truly lovely day out together.
