GROUPS

Updated Sept 2023

Interest groups are the engines of life-long learning in the U3A, meeting regularly to study subjects of common interest. The group coordinator takes responsibility for organising meetings, which run without distinction between teachers and learners. Members share their knowledge and experience and enjoyment is the prime motive.

Scroll down this page to see a list of our current groups. For further information click on the highlighted group name to open the group page. You can email the group coordinator for further information via the email link "Click to send a message" at the top right of the page. Please note if you are interested in joining a group you must contact the individual Group coordinator in advance via the email link.

If you have an interest that is not yet represented, it is likely that others will share this interest. So if you would like to a new group please contact the Groups Secretary for help. Equally, if a group for your interest is already full please consider setting up an additional group.

Contact for Loan of U3A Equipment

Glenfield U3A has some technical equipment (Windows 10 laptop, Blue Tooth Speaker and Projector) which are available to be borrowed by Group Coordinators to facilitate their group activities. These are kept by Alan Hodkinson. To request their loan please contact Alan via Contacts page of this web site
