Convenors
This page is under development and will hold information helpful for any thinking of becoming a group convenor or those already acting as the convenor of an interest group.
Would you consider being a group convenor?
New ideas are coming forward for interest groups on a regular basis, we look for a convenor to come from those who have expressed an interest in that particular group
This could be you! If you are considering offering to become a convenor take a look at the information here or contact the group coordinator via the website contact page to find out more.
From 'Aims and guiding principals' of the Third Age Trust -
The Self-help Learning Principle
a) Members form interest groups covering as wide a range of topics and activities as they desire; by the members, for the members.
b) No qualifications are sought or offered. Learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive, not qualifications or awards.
c) There is no distinction between the learners and the teachers; they are all U3A members.
A number of pages will be linked to this page and they are listed below:
Group Convenors and the Aylsham and District U3A website.
This takes convenors through the process and the link/s with the website to help establish accurate and timely information for anyone accessing the website re an interest group. Please read link attached to this page
