Barnsley & District

Groups

Interest Groups meet at various venues throughout the Barnsley District, and these are all run by volunteers from within our local U3A membership and are known as "Group Coordinators".

A calendar of meetings for the up and coming months can be seen by clicking on Groups Calendar.

If you are interested in a popular group that has unfortunately reached the maximum practical number of members, please still register your interest so that additional groups can be formed. The group coordinator will inform the committee, and as soon as numbers are sufficient to begin a new group and a new coordinator can be found, you will be able to enjoy your interests with fellow members. Even better, if you are willing to be a coordinator (for an existing or a completely new interest group), please let any member of the committee know (via email, or see us at the monthly meeting), your enthusiasm will be welcomed with open arms! Thanks you.

Unable to find a group that you are interested in? Let us know at a monthly meeting, or by email via our Contact page. You can also see who to approach at monthly meetings by visiting our Who Is Who page to see photos of committee members.

Notes for Coordinators

• It would be helpful for all Group Coordinators to monitor their Group Pages to ensure that the details on those pages are current, or to arrange editing them for yourselves (see below).
• If you would like to include photos of your group activities, you can send them to the current Website Administrator for uploading (please provide a caption and the name of the group that the photo is for). Out of courtesy, please check that everyone in the photo is happy to be included on the website.

Group Webpage Editing Tutorial

• If you are a Group Coordinator or named assistant/volunteer, you can also be set up to edit your own group's webpage. An easy to follow video based tutorial is available, along with an online form to apply for editing permissions, plus a course information sheet, at the Group Webpage Editing Tutorial website. This is a privately owned website that is being used to host the tutorial files (site owned by David Lambert of Barnsley & District U3A). Instructions on how to proceed with training and editing permissions are included on the tutorial website.
• Please contact the website administrator via the Contact page if you have any queries.
