Groups

For GENERAL enquiries concerning Interest Groups contact the Interest Groups Co-ordinator, - position tbc. Contact John Moore, Chairman for the moment (CONTACT).

At present we have 40 Interest Groups as listed below. Each group has a Convener whose function is to act as administrator or leader in its various activities and meetings. For information about a Specific Group, including how to contact the Convener, click on the GROUP NAME in the BOXED LIST at the BOTTOM of this page.

Groups meet in members' homes or at other venues. Largely because of space constraints, there is a limit to the number of members that each group can accommodate. To learn if space is available contact the group Convener. If there is sufficient demand and if a member offers her or himself as Convener a second group might be initiated.

In addition, we also occasionally offer short courses of up to 10 sessions led or tutored by a member or associate. Examples of courses held in the last two to three years are World War 1, Astronomy, Cells, Genes, Genetic Modification, Topics in French Literature, Cultural Studies and Film Studies. If you could offer a course covering some aspect of your expertise or knowledge, please contact the Chairman.

NEW GROUPS

1. TABLE TENNIS
Following a visit to our Thursday meeting (where we were shown a film of a 100 year old playing table tennis), 14 U3A members went to the open day of a new Table Tennis venue in Acton. The visit was so successful that we have agreed to go every week but owing to other commitments we are splitting into 2 groups going on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10am.
If you are interested contact Rosemary Hart, on 07919 080035 - for further details see the Table Tennis group page (link below).

We are always on the lookout for possibilities to start new groups. Do you have the interests, skills and experience to help form a new Interest Group? All of our Interest Group Conveners are volunteers, motivated by commitment to a particular area of activity and learning. Will you volunteer to form a new group?
Please contact the Interest Groups Co-ordinator, through the Contact button at the top of this page.
