Chiswell Green

Groups and Group Information

Contact Sarah Duggan, Interest Group Co-ordinator, for more information on any of our groups or if you would like to start a new interest group. E-mail address: groupscoordinator@chiswellgreenu3a.org.uk

All our Chiswell Green Interest Groups enable their members to develop and share knowledge, new skills and experiences, exchanging ideas and values in an enjoyable and sociable manner. The u3a ethos is:-

"Learn, Laugh, Live."

You must be a member of Chiswell Green u3a to take part in any groups or activities run by CG.
Please always wear, or have with you, your CG Membership card and an up-to-date emergency contact card. An emergency contact card can be obtained from Jackie Lintern or the membership desk at our monthly meetings and should be kept with your CG membership card, preferably in a lanyard which can be purchased from the membership desk.

*********

We have a large number of interest groups to choose from and if you are keen to join any of these please send an email, via the ‘bird icon’ on their Interest Group page. If spaces are not immediately available, you can always go on the waiting list. If there is a lot of demand for a particular interest group, it may be possible to start a Group 2.

Pins & Needles, Play Reading, Table Tennis, Sailing, Walking and Ten Pin Bowling all have scope for new members, as well as many other groups. These are all sociable groups and you would be made very welcome. Any message left via this website will be sent directly to that group organiser (use the 'bird' icon at the side of the group page).

Since the pandemic, some groups have disbanded but, if you are interested in starting up a new group please contact our Interest Group Organiser. Suggestions for new groups are always welcome, especially if accompanied by an offer to run them!

Being a group Organiser is not as daunting as you may think and can be great fun - it is also a good way to get to know more of your fellow Chiswell Green u3a members.

Meanwhile, existing organisers why not let us know about any interesting activity or trips you have recently had. This can then be put in the monthly Newsletter and also on the website. Contact Sarah via this website so that she can mention it at a u3a monthly meeting. Also contact Dave Brennan (Newsletters) and Chris Jordan (Website).
