U3A- anyone belong to a group?

Long shot here as the group is for retired people - any age but usually over 60.

I've joined my local one as I need to make more friends but have yet to go to a meeting/event.

I've seen photos of a lot of them in the groups and they look much older than me (ie in their 80s.)

I'm not ageist, truly, but I would have more in common with younger people in their late 50s/ early 60s.

My sister goes to a group near her (miles away) but she's 76 and says I'm too young for U3A.

I looked at the website for our area the other day (I’m 64, should have been retiring as of tomorrow but things didn’t go to plan so will still be working) - they have 2 walking groups, an ‘easy’ one and another who looked pretty fit al being mostly probably a bit older than me. Interesting to hear there’s such a variety but I guess if it’s organised in a very grassroots sort of way then that will happen.
