Groups

The committee are looking into guidance from U3A Head Office as to when some groups can meet outside. You will be informed when this has been confirmed. Please see the information below that still applies to most Groups.

Please be aware that Groups have had to cancel their group meetings due to the Coronavirus restrictions. Please send an email to your Group Contact via the 'bird' link on the group page for your group, or if you have a telephone please call. This is the person who is most likely to have the latest information for the particular group you are enquiring about.

Groups – Time and Date, Click the BOLD text Link below to view more details.

All Group Contacts please try and keep in touch with your members online, by email or telephone why we have to remain at home.

We do advice that any new members who are interested in joining a group make contact with the Group Contact to confirm a place is available and the date of the next meeting. This can be done by the 'Bird' link on each group page.

If you are a Group Contact have a look at the 'All Group Contacts' information via the top link in the right hand column. This will give you an outline of how to keep group members informed by updating your group web page and there is a direct link to the Site Builder login page.

Please remember that as a Group Contact you are only part of your group and not expected to lead it. All members of a group should be involved in how it is organised, so don't feel overwhelmed - we are all here to help!

Our Facebook pages The Committee has decided to create a members only Facebook page and a public Facebook page. Please go to our Latest News page for more information.

In line with the new General Data Protection Policy we no longer include the Group Contact's telephone number on our web pages.
