Abingdon-on-Thames

Groups

We have an increasing number of interest groups. Please see the list below.

For further information please contact our Interest Groups Coordinator Pat Lurcook who will be pleased to assist. Make contact with her at the weekly meetings, or e-mail abingdonu3a@gmail.com for further information.

It is essential to be a member of Abingdon-on-Thames branch of u3a before joining a group. This is for insurance purposes and to ensure there is capacity in the group for new members. Why not come along to one of our main meetings on Monday afternoons at the Preston Road Community Centre in Abingdon to find out more?

The majority of groups meet monthly, but some more often. Each group page will give more detailed information. Groups that are "out & about" often do not meet on the same day or time each month, so checking with the Group Leader is essential to avoid disappointment.

If you cannot see a group covering your interest maybe you're a lively minded person with an interest to share and the potential to start and lead a new group. Join Abingdon-on-Thames u3a and share your knowledge and skills -that's what u3a is all about!

Contact details of group coordinators and venues are available at the main meetings.
