GROUPS

Groups are the lifeblood of our u3a. They give members the opportunity to try something different, whether it is academic or educational, physical or simply social. They are ideal for meeting other people with similar interests and aspirations. Our groups are run ‘by our members for our members’ with everyone learning from each other. Groups are not classes and group leaders are not teachers.

All groups meet at least monthly, several more frequently. Many meetings are in members’ homes, others are in halls or other venues. Groups which have expenses are self-funded by the members of the group.

All groups are listed below. For information about a group click on the name. To send a message to the Group Leader, for more information and especially to ask if there is a vacancy, click the bird image on the righthand side of the page. If a group is full you can ask to be added to a waiting list. Some group leaders will allow you to attend a taster session before joining our u3a.

If a group is very popular with a waiting list, we will start an additional group if someone is willing to be group leader. We are also always on the lookout for starting new groups. Even new members sometimes start new groups. For advice about this contact our Group Leader Coordinator (see the Contact page).

You can join as many groups as you like, provided there are vacancies. Many members are in three or more groups. Or you can join just so you can attend our monthly meetings, details of which are on the Events page.

The important thing is to “Learn, Laugh, Live”, this being the maxim of the u3a movement.

We look forward to hearing from you. To request an Information Pack including Membership Form please send a message to our Membership Secretary using the form on the Contact page. You will need to provide your address and phone number.
