Established in the Manawatū in 2000. While U3A stands for "University of the Third Age", we are not a university in the modern sense: no qualifications, no exams. We are a community of older people who seek a greater understanding of life. Taps the reservoir of knowledge, skills and experience of older people through self-help learning. Provides opportunities for reading, research, discussions and field trips. The atmosphere for learning is informal and friendly. There are no compulsory activities or examinations. Costs are minimal.

We meet in small learning groups (usually less than 15 people). We currently have over 40 interest groups. Each group has a coordinator who organises and oversees the group. Groups meet in members’ homes, in libraries, art galleries, other spaces. Several groups have also been meeting online (eg Zoom, email). You may join as many groups as you like (there are waiting lists for some groups). Sometimes we go on visits, for example to art galleries, museums.

In addition to the groups we usually run two seminar series each year with themes of general interest.

The Manawatū County Club, based in Palmerston North, was established in November 1928. It welcomes women of all ages, professions, ethnicity and educational backgrounds to participate in a diverse program of informative, stimulating and social activities, both at the Club Rooms and at selected offsite venues.

Within the Club are many interest Groups. These include Gardening, Antiques and Collectibles, Music, Arts and Travel, Bridge, Bolivia, Mah Jong and Oral History. They each develop their own annual program of activities. All members are encouraged to belong to those groups which interest them. There is also a program of key annual events and two luncheons, with interesting speakers, are held at the Club each month. 

The Club offers a warm and welcoming environment in comfortable surroundings for individual members and groups to meet, find friendship and support, share interests and participate in a range of social activities.

Our group was founded in 1947 and is affiliated with the New Zealand Rose Society (Inc). Our motto is to implant the roses in the hearts and gardens of the people of New Zealand. We do this by sharing information and knowledge on how to grow good roses in the Manawatū region. This is done through our newsletter and other publications, meetings with guest speakers and demonstrations and visits to gardens and other places of interest. Members also have a wide range of other garden interests besides roses so they are also incorporated into our events.
