Groups
Whether you are a longstanding member or someone who is wanting to find out more about the u3a, have a browse on the website and get in touch for further details. This is the way to make new friends and maybe meet old friends as well as finding new interests.
It’s never too late to Live, Laugh and Learn which is the u3a motto.

To see the latest updates to groups click Group News.
Current and future groups are set up in response to the suggestions of our members; a volunteer 'leader' from among our ranks takes on the responsibility of planning and coordinating the group.
Members of the group make a contribution to cover the costs of each meeting, usually simply room hire but sometimes also materials. So, a reading group meeting in a member's home would probably have little or no costs at all.
You will find here details of the current groups but don't forget: If there's an interest not catered for, suggest it to any of the Committee members and we'll see whether there is any demand and look for a potential group leader. You might consider offering your talent, and start a new group or would like further information, contact Sue McPhee, Interest Group Coordinator, by clicking on her name or going to the contact page and fill in the form. Sue will get back to you as soon as possible!
New Groups!
The new Flex and Stretch Group started on July 15th at St Luke's Church Hall, and we are always looking for opportunities to start up new groups especially where members show a keen interest. To see the latest updates to groups click Group News. If you have an interest or activity for which we do not have a group there may be one in a neighbouring u3a, or you may wish to start a new Group yourself!. The committee are hoping to form a social events group. If you are interested in helping and have plenty of ideas please contact Sue McPhee.
BE ADVENTUROUS - have a chat with any of the existing interest group leaders, all of whom are volunteers and you might find it’s not as daunting as you think!!!!
Most groups have their own web page giving more information about that group. 'SELECT' (left mouse click) on a group's name to move to that group's web page.
