Many of the Interest Groups are running. Please contact the relevant Group Organiser for further information.
Interest groups are the backbone of the u3a and we are all grateful to our current group organisers for their time and commitment.
We have a wealth of talent and skills among our members in Falkirk, and if you would like to lead or host a group please contact the Groups co-ordinator (Jennifer Kightley) for information.
You do not need to be an expert in a topic to set up a group; often an interest in a subject is enough. There is plenty of help available and there is access to a range of resources to help both organisers and members pursue an interest or area of study. Bear in mind that you don't need to run a group for ever! It is possible to offer a course or group for a fixed number of sessions.
To join a group you need to be a member of Falkirk & District u3a. You can join at one of the monthly meetings, see Events for information on the monthly meetings. Even if you are not a member you can still come to a couple of meetings to find out about us.
To find out more about an interest group CLICK on the name of the group.
If Waiting List is shown this means the group is full. If you would like to be added to that waiting list contact the Group Coordinator, Jennifer Kightley (groups@falkirku3a.uk).
