Groups
Chard, Ilminster and District U3A groups (see list at bottom of this page) offer subjects ranging from practical activities, such as gardening and needlecraft, to study opportunities such as languages, history, religion, and philosophy. Also available are numerous social and practical activities including table tennis, play reading and rambling.
GROUP RESOURCES
The Resource Centre at National Office has a collection of material in many subjects for U3A groups to borrow. These are available for group leaders or individuals.
For further information, log into the U3A national website, https://www.u3a.org.uk and follow the Learning Resources link under the Learn tab.
Please note that the information about groups listed on this page is correct at the time of entry. It is the responsibility of individual Group Leaders to contact the Group Co-ordinator, Lilly Sell-Dunkley by emailing Group Co-ordinator, if the status, times or locations of their meetings have changed. The Group Co-ordinator will pass your messages onto the Website Administrator and Beacon Administrator.
