Would you like to join a lively new research group?

This is an opportunity for us to discover more about Welshpool, its way of life, and the benefits of living, working, and enjoying retirement here.

We’ll start by developing and testing a flexible research process using our findings to learn more about our community and what’s on offer in the town.

We’ll collaborate with other u3a groups and organisations and then present the information we collect in an attention-grabbing way, which will also help to raise the profile and promote the work of u3a.

I never knew that about Welshpool

Together, we’ll show what makes Welshpool special and why it’s a great place to visit or live. We’ll pool our resources and uncover remarkable individuals, clubs, support groups, businesses, services, facilities, fascinating facts, and snippets of information.

How can I be involved?

The new group will build a diverse team of enthusiastic citizen researchers. We will have fun sharing skills and knowledge, gathering information, and learning new stuff. Group members will decide what we cover.

Who is this aimed at?

The group will be of interest to curious individuals (nosey parkers), quizzers, local historians, and anyone who cares deeply about Welshpool and the talented people who live and work here. If you have research, admin, marketing, PR, ITC, graphic design, or writing, proofreading, and editing skills that would be particularly useful, but anyone interested is welcome to come and find out more.

Latest

The WLRG has shown real initiative with its request for gardening tools and its plans to transform some of Welshpool’s badly neglected planters. This project will not only enhance the appearance of the local environment but will also raise awareness of our U3A and spark fresh interest in our community.
