Groups
Membership of Groups is available only to Bishop's Stortford U3A members except where sharing arrangements are in place with other u3as.
At present we only have a sharing agreement with Buntingford u3a.
Buntingford groups open to Bishop's Stortford members. Can be found by clicking on the link Buntingford Shared Groups.
Bishop's Stortford groups open to Buntingford members are indicated by '(S)' after the group name in the list of groups and can also be seen on the Shared by BSu3a page.
The Photography group is hosted by Thorley u3a.
Our BS u3a subscriptions primarily pay for services provided by The Third Age Trust, Monthly Meetings, Newsletters plus costs associated with administration. Costs incurred by individual Activity Groups will be charged separately by that Activity Group.
Some Groups meet in members' homes and can result in the number of people in that Group being limited.
There is a calendar of activities on the Welcome page indicating if it is a house group or a larger venue activity.
By clicking on a Group below, this can take you to a page or pages with more information about that Group, together with contact details, which you should use to determine availability of vacancies. In some instances there are no supporting pages or contacts, in this case please refer to the DIARY, available at the monthly meeting, the Library or by email on application to the Web Administrator on the Contact page.
As a self help organisation it is imperative there are willing individuals prepared to start new interest groups and others to help them, this is more satisfying than just participating.
Would Group Co-ordinators please ensure the Monthly Diary reflects the stand-in contact when they are going to be absent.

Groups Etiquette
The u3a is run by volunteers who give their own time freely for the benefit of our groups so:
Please take note of the organiser’s phone number&/or email address in order to
- Let the leader know if you are unable to attend a meeting
- Let the leader know if you wish to leave the group
- If you miss 3 sessions in a row without contacting the leader, it will be assumed that you no longer wish to be a member of that group.
- Arrive at the group meetings in good time.
- Make a note of meeting dates and times
- Remember that individual groups are self-funding so contributions may be requested when there are expenses (such as hire of hall) to be covered.
