Groups
Silent Films - NEW Group
This group will be running on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evenings, viewing and reviewing silent movies. Starting Summer 2023, do contact the leader via the webpage to register your interest or for more details.
Scrabble Group has a new leader
Ian Wilson has handed over the Scrabble boards to June Wallace, as he moves away from WB after many years as leader of this group. A big thank you Ian, and a welcome to June as she takes this on.
Card Making Group has vacancies
This group has a couple of vacancies, why not give it a try.
Longer walks on the 1st Friday of the month
Co-ordinators needed
This group has been successfully co-ordinated by Rita and her husband David for 17 years and in December 2023 they are going to STOP.
It is an extremely popular group - So if you enjoy walking and want it to continue, volunteers MUST step forward.
You will not have to invent new walks, Rita has over 140 for you to choose from.
Basic Group information
All groups are listed in the tables on this page. Some groups have their own individual timetables such as the bird watching group.
To join any group, contact the group leader first for full details of meetings and any personal equipment required.
Our u3a is always willing to consider additional groups and welcome suggestions for a topic which we may not currently run, especially if you have an interest in getting the group 'going'.
If you cannot find what you are interested in, in West Bridgford, maybe one of the other u3a's does have something. Select the link (Groups across Nottinghamshire) and see what is available.
Group leader information is at Group Leader Information.
Advertising at open meetings
To attract new members or to inform your current members of what is happening in your group, group leaders are invited to advertise via the PowerPoint rolling display. The display runs continuously at the start of the Open Meeting and is a useful source of information for people whilst they have a seat and refreshment. Denis has taken on the responsibility for delivering the information attractively to excite interest. Send him details to get in the display via the BLUE BIRD
