Groups
Crawley u3a offers a wide variety of interest groups. If you do not find a subject to your liking, then why not start a group of your own, you need not be an expert or qualified in the subject, just have an interest in a subject that you would like to share with others, anything from nuclear physics to flower arranging or bricklaying, it’s your decision.
There’s plenty of help available from the committee and other members to help set up a new group, you won’t be pushed into the deep end, and you can always ask for help from one of your new group members to act as Secretary/Treasurer to spread the load.
You decide the date, time, subject and length for each meeting, which may be held at the home of one of your members or at a hired venue. The Groups Co-ordinator who liaises with all group leaders, will arrange a venue if required and give advice in running your group.
It really is not too difficult to run a group, you don’t have to struggle, ask for help if needed, it’s there to be had and will be gladly given. For group enquiries please e-mail our Groups Co-ordinator via the Contact page
