No, as a new member you can try two classes before you must pay your annual subscription. If you are an existing member and are re-enrolling your subscription will need to be paid at the beginning of each year.

Yes. You can enroll in any classes throughout the year. In addition, new classes may be offered during the year so keep an eye on our Newsletter and Website .

Most of our courses are held at 2 Cobden St Bright. Outdoor activities may meet at the carpark adjacent or at another prearranged location. Look up the specific activity and you will find the location.

Without convenors or tutors there would be no U3A. All of our convenors volunteer their skills and time. If you have a skill or passion that you would like to share, please consider offering a class. Have a look at the range of classes that are currently on offer. Many of our classes have waiting lists. You might like to offer an additional or similar class to one currently on offer, or you might like to offer something altogether different.

Learning should not stop as we get older. U3A provides social and intellectual stimulation for older people who are not in full-time paid employment. Courses are designed to be enjoyable as well as educational. U3A may give you the opportunity to learn something that you have always intended to learn but have not had the time to pursue.

While operated independently by volunteers, U3A Bright is one of more than 100 Victorian U3As supported by U3A Network Victoria, which provides organisational and planning support as well as facilitating broader relationships between Member U3As and affiliates, peer organisations and Government.

Membership is open to retired and semi-retired people, generally over the age of 50. No qualifications are required to join and enrol in courses.

U3A Bright is a not-for-profit incorporated association administered by a volunteer executive committee. We welcome any assistance you would like to offer. To contribute some of your time or knowledge please contact us.
