Tamborine Mountain U3A

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international movement which has spread from France since 1973. The Cambridge model in the United Kingdom came about in 1981 and it changed the original university concept to one where members themselves are the teachers. This model was adopted in Australia in 1984 in Melbourne. U3A Brisbane was established in 1986 and Tamborine Mountain U3A commenced in July 2007 as part of the U3A Jimboomba group. In January 2008, the Tamborine Mountain group was officially incorporated and the first AGM was held in April 2008.
