Groups

At Ems Valley u3a we are proud to have a wide variety of groups for members. Most groups meet on just one day each month. Our list shows in which week any individual group meets.

To find out more about a group click on the group name in the table below. To join a group go to that group's page and click on the email link to enquire about joining. You MUST be a member of Ems Valley u3a to join a group.

You will often find the latest news about a group on their group page including recent and forthcoming events, talks, visits or projects. You can see a Google calendar for all the group dates on the Calendar page

Please check out the helpful Advice to Group Leaders that the Groups Coordinator, Ann Sims, has assembled.
