Groups
THESE ARE OUR GROUPS - see list at bottom of page.
If you are interested in organising, or helping to organise a group (you don't have to be an expert and help is available) please contact the Groups co-ordinator. You do need to be a member of the U3A first (contact the Membership Secretary via the Contacts Page)
PLEASE NOTE - if you would like to come along to a group meeting please contact the group coordinator. This is to safeguard any groups who are full and for insurance purposes.
Where a group name is highlighted in blue you may click on it to see further information displayed on a separate page.
Meetings at St Michael's and elsewhere were suspended during lockdown and immediately after.
Face to face meetings started up again in September for most groups, and others followed in October. Click on the group links below to get the latest meetings programme.
