Study Groups
| Remember, that to join a Group you must first be a member of Bushey U3A |
Bushey U3A has over 80 study groups that are organised and arranged by members according to their interests. They share the experiences and knowledge of group members and follow the U3A principle that "Those who Learn shall also Teach and those who Teach shall also Learn".
| To contact a Group Leader first click on the group name below which will take you to the Group Page. Then click on the blue icon at the top right hand side of the page to send a message. |
If your area of interest is not shown, or the group is full, why not start a new group? The Study Group Coordinator will be pleased to provide advice and assistance to get you started. Contact the Study Group Coordinator using our Contact page.
CORONA VIRUS UPDATE
| During this difficult period we encourage you to keep your topics active by holding virtual group meetings, using tools such as Zoom, Skype, FaceTime or email. If your SGL hasn’t been in touch with details, on how the group will function, then contact them. Help them to set something up, until we are all able to meet again |
