Lancaster & Morecambe

Interest Groups

Below you can find a list of all the current Lancaster and Morecambe u3a Interest Groups.
Scroll down to view the full list and click on the individual title to view full details.

Interest Groups are all run by volunteers giving their time, skills and experience to offer you the opportunity to not only get out and about but also to learn a new skill and to meet others like yourselves who wish to learn.

In u3a groups, the leader is not meant to be the fount of all knowledge as all members participate Leaders and Helpers Thank-you Lunch in suggesting and organising group activities. All our groups are friendly, welcoming and offer a relaxed environment in which to learn, enjoy and socialise. We always offer support to anyone who wishes to start another group.

Group Membership

In principle, all members are entitled to membership of all groups. However, for practical reasons, some group sizes must be limited, e.g. to take into account the amount of available equipment or space in a room. Further detail is provided as necessary in the information about individual groups.

When you want to go to a meeting for the first time, you should to speak to the leader of the group. If you are already a member, you can go to the Groups page on the Members Portal for contact details, or contact our Groups Coordinator stating your membership number.

If you are not yet a member you can still come along to a taster session for up to two different groups on a trial basis to see how you get on, although we do ask that you pay the group subs, usually £2.00, as they go towards the room hire, if relevant. Contact the Groups Coordinator for more details.

Interested? Click on a group for more details or go to the Membership page to find out how to join us.

NB. LFMH stands for Lancaster Friends Meeting House.

Background colour codes: WHITE: active; YELLOW: new; GREY - full (there will usually be a waiting list)
