The University of the Third Age (U3A) provides educational and general interest courses for retirees covering a diverse range of topics including the arts, history, literature and philosophy.

Today I attended a performance of Kismet Revisited, a production performed by Ringwood U3A, at the North Ringwood Senior Citizens Centre in Norwood Hall. The performance based on the 1953 musical Kismet provided an opportunity to showcase U3A and the range of services it provides to members.

Groups such as U3A provides an opportunity for retirees to learn and develop new skills in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Combined with the other groups based at Norwood Hall, such as Enjoying Planned Retirement and the North Ringwood Senior Citizens, there is a comprehensive range of activities for Maroondah’s senior citizens and retirees.
