Interest Groups

MOST GROUPS ARE NOW MEETING REGULARLY, some on zoom, while many are meeting in person. For up to date arrangements see Interest Groups, October 2021

Scroll down the page to see the list of groups we have to offer and the calendar to see which days of the week groups meet (although not many groups meet on a weekly basis).

If you need more details please contact Maggie Chan the NEWLY appointed Interest Groups Co-ordinator

• If you wish to join a group please contact the leader for more details. Their telephone numbers can be found in Interest Groups, October 2021 Some groups will be full but you may ask to be put on their waiting list. We actively encourage people to join as many groups as they wish. If you have difficulties in doing this, or if you have any suggestions as to what new groups we could form, then please let us know by contacting the Groups Co-ordinator to see if we can help.

• We are always keen for new groups to get started and we will offer potential leaders or convenors all the help we can. New groups are eligible for a start up grant to help with publicity and there is also some financial help for equipment (which then becomes the property of Croydon u3a).

• Look at the Interest Groups, October 2021 for the full range of our groups, the venues, the days & times they meet and the contact details. Groups highlighted in blue in the table below have more information. Simply click on the name.

Please note: you will be expected to JOIN Croydon u3a before you reserve a place in a group. lf you would like to explore the possibility of starting a group or if you would like to suggest a group that we do not currently have we are always open to new ideas. Send your suggestions to the Groups Co-ordinator and we will see what we can do.

Online Courses

• For those who would prefer to study on their own look at the online courses available to all u3a members at Future Learn and MOOCS (Massive Open Online Courses).

• The Virtual u3a is another facility we can use which is particularly useful for members who have mobility concerns or are too busy during the day and would like to join virtual groups which can be accessed in the evenings and weekends. Please click on the link to go to the site.
