Groups
Interest groups are the lifeblood of a successful u3a.
Our interest groups meet in members' homes, rent small halls or other venues or go on field trips. Occasionally they use Zoom. Group members cover the cost of using their venue and usually pay 30p towards any refreshments provided.
To register with a group, please contact the group’s leader via that group's page from the Group List below.
If you have problems contacting the group leader, please contact the Groups Coordinator by clicking on this link - Groups.
Our Groups Coordinator emails out a list of our interest groups information and the Group Leaders' contact details.
If a group is oversubscribed, the members are encouraged to split up, with several members setting up a second group which will be assisted in establishing itself.
If your interest is not already covered, contact the Groups Coordinator who will help to find others willing to join you in creating a new group.
Advice for Group Leaders can be found on this page under Links.
If you would like your group details to be amended please email the Groups Coordinator.
To submit a group report or request for our Facebook page please email the Facebook team at hhdu3afb@gmail.com
