Groups & Activities with Brixworth U3A
The number of groups and activities has increased steadily during the past seven years, and new ones are still being added.
Below are the ones currently available, but please speak to Chris Rowe, Groups Co-ordinator, tel 01604 842008, or any member of the Committee, if you have any other ideas or suggestions.
Booking forms for all of the groups are always on display at each of the monthly meetings, when you can add your name, membership number and telephone number to reserve a place.
For more activities and events that are not operated on a regular basis, go to the Events page. However, to find out more about each of the groups in the table below, click on the underlined group name.
Furthermore, if you have any ideas for starting up a new group this would be most welcome. All we would ask is that you contact a member of the Committee at the earlist opportunity when help and advice can be provided on how best to progress things in accordance with the general U3A philosophy and within stipulated guidelines.
Important Notice to Group Leaders
Should you wish to book the new projector for a group meeting, for example for a powerpoint presentation or to show a series of photographs, then please contact Maggie Wall on 01604 889406 to reserve the equipment and to arrange pick-up and delivery after use. Please be aware that you will need a Laptop Computer on which you will have prepared your presentation, as this is required to drive the projector.
