Groups
For details, please see the group webpages or contact the group leader via the pigeon icon on the group's webpage.
Members are encouraged to come along and try some of the various group activities on offer. Trying something new can boost confidence and is an opportunity to meet new friends in a supportive environment.
At present we have groups covering about 20 topics. Information about Access to the venues is given on a separate page.
To contact group leaders if you would like to join a group or get more information, please consult the Aberdeen U3A Newsletter. The full version of this with contact telephone numbers is provided for all members. Alternatively you can send an email message to the group leader of the group you are interested in attending using the "pigeon" at the top of the specific group page, or you can send an email via the Groups Co-ordinator.
IMPORTANT: Attendance at group activities is restricted to Aberdeen U3A members. Once a paid-up Aberdeen U3A member, you are welcome to come along and try one session at any group without any commitment, provided there is space and the group leader agrees.
Members can also participate in various online groups run by Online Across Scotland u3a and by the Third Age Trust. For more details, please follow the links to their sites on our Links page.
