Interest Groups

We have over 280 members at Warsash and Many Interest Groups.

More groups are forming on a regular basis and we are keen to welcome new members to join us to inspire new groups.

A Group is formed when a number of members with a common interest get together and decide how they would like to organise and manage activities around a subject. Some arrange visits to gardens, houses, and local places of interest, others to exhibitions in museums and galleries, while many attend theatres to discover, share and enjoy a wide range of drama and musical theatre. Other groups get together for lunches, whilst others read and review books or look forward to Mah Jong, and Discovering Wines.

Please see our full list of groups below.

Meetings take place periodically, depending on the subject and members' preferences. We ask 50p for Refreshments when meeting in a member's house. And also pay towards hall hire should this be needed. A contribution is made towards petrol when cars are shared.

U3A is all about sharing your skills, experience and knowledge with others. Group members contribute to the group in various ways; by providing a venue, bringing teas, coffee and biscuits, leading discussions or demonstrating a skill or being the point of contact for the group.

The group’s leader does not necessarily have expertise which means that everyone in the group contributes to the learning experience by bringing books or videos, looking up a topic online or using libraries. You will meet lots of people, make new friends and keeping your mind active is always good. So come along and learn together!

In recent surveys we found that 90% of our members attend one or more of our groups and around 30% of members are volunteering their time, skill and knowledge to WU3A. And we hope to maintain this vibrancy and commitment for many years! Thank you to all our members who contribute so much to Warsash U3A!

Come along for a free taster on a ‘try before you buy!’ basis.

It’s a great opportunity to join in the activities of these groups, so come along and try us out, it’s lots of fun too!

Offers from members to run groups in which they have expertise or some knowledge in the subject are most welcome.
