Groups
Activity Groups are below firstly listed in alphabetic order and then secondly in day order. Click on the group title to be taken to that group's page.
Members who form groups by bringing people together for shared interests are at the very heart of the U3A movement. These are self-help learning and recreational groups pursuing activities in a relaxed and informal setting.
Any member is free to start up a group provided there is enough interest - you do not need to be an expert in the subject as the co-ordinator and the group members learn together. If you are interested in starting a group please speak to a committee member or send a message via the Contact page. Every assistance is given in helping new groups set up and become established. This includes help with room hire, materials etc, and ongoing support.
To join a group you can: come along to the monthly Coffee Mornings; contact the Group Leader by using the 'send a message' icon on that Group's Page; or contact our Groups' Co-ordinator via the 'message' icon on the 'Contact' page. If you have not heard within a week, please ring the appropriate person.
After the numerous lockdowns, a few groups are being held over the internet on Zoom. The appropriate Activity page will advised you of this. Members will need a device (laptop, ipad etc) to receive the email link to that activity, which will be sent by the Group leader.
In attending groups a charge of £2 is made with an optional charge if refreshments are organised.
To help groups run smoothly members are asked to arrive on time and bring the correct change for these payments.
