Groups
Grange U3A has special interest groups which members may join free of charge, although there may be a small charge to cover the cost of each event. If you are interested in a group or event, please contact the Group Co-ordinator, details of which may be found on the Group Page. If you are interested in forming a new group, please contact the Group Liaison Co-ordinator, Sheila Handley, via the message link.
If you’d like to join a new interest group but can’t find what you’re looking for in Grange, you may have better luck with one of our neighbouring u3as in South Cumbria. It’s now easier to find out about interest groups in other u3as, because each local u3a has nominated a contact person who can tell you more about their groups, and put you in touch with the relevant group leader if they have suitable vacancies. See details at the right side of this page and under STOP PRESS.
