On 20th Nov 2014 an informative public meeting was held at the Berri Town Hall, with a view to establishing a Riverland branch of the U3A.
Of the appx 100 people that attended the very enthusiastic meeting, about 60 immediately signed up as paid members.
At a subsequent meeting at Ruston's Rose Garden, Renmark, on 2nd Dec 2014, U3A Riverland was officially formed.
