NORTH EAST CHESHIRE NETWORK OPEN GROUPS
The North East Cheshire Network of U3As comprises Cheadle and Gatley, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Poynton, Macclesfield, and Wilmslow.
Some Interest Groups within these U3As have been designated as ‘Open Groups’. These can be attended by members of other U3As in the Network provided they are current members of their own U3A and pay for attendance at the meeting. Members who attend a meeting of an Open Group should show a current Membership Card, which can be obtained from Membership Secretary Brian Green on request. Alternatively, you can use your phone to display the Confirmation of Renewal email sent by the Membership Secretary for the current year.
Cheadle and Gatley Open Groups are:
Bridge, Environment, German, Short Walks, Singing for Pleasure and Ukulele
A list of the Open Groups of U3As in the Network is given in the link opposite, and further details about individual Groups can be found by going to the website of each particular U3A.
