7. WHAT MEETINGS ARE THERE?
Local U3As hold Monthly General Meetings, usually with a visiting speaker and offer a wide variety of special-interest groups. Individual interest group meetings are held once a month or once a fortnight, or weekly, as required by the group. The subjects are wide ranging; with some that have a broadly educational slant (e.g. history, religion), some that are primarily practical (e.g. digital photography, patchwork quilting, gardening), and some that are unashamedly social (e.g. ‘lunch group’). It would be wrong to classify the groups too tightly; for instance a language course is both educational and practical, and often very sociable as well.
