UNIVERSITY of the Third Age - U3A - is holding an open day for members and the public at the Lawns Social Club, Mary Street, Taunton, on Tuesday, October 30, from 10am to 2pm.

Visitors will be able to talk to group convenors and U3A members to find out more about what they do.

The aim of the event is to raise U3A's profile and encourage people to become involved in life-long learning.

A spokesman said: "We would like to attract people who not only wish to extend their learning but also, if they have a particular expertise that they'd like to share, to set up an appropriate learning group."
