Groups

Due to the CORONAVIRUS crisis all U3A meetings in person are currently suspended until further notice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE that many groups are finding alternative ways to meet up in these interesting times!
Zoom talks, music online, discussions, quizzing, play reading - it’s still happening, just in a different way!

© Using Zoom

ZOOM is the application that has largely come to our rescue - gaining us the ability to use IT to contact each other and join in conversation. It’s easy to use, it’s available on every smart phone, PC, tablet and laptop in a way that uses just a click to join in. To join a ZOOM group ask the coordinator for an invitation. The invitation comes as an email with a link in the text. Tap on this and you get a dialogue to join the group. Turn on your microphone (if you want to speak) turn on you camera (if you want to be seen) and wait for the host to let you in. It helps if people talk only one at a time and you can view ‘speaker view’ (one person only) or ‘gallery view’ (see everyone).

Other Group operate online through web-based competitions, or video recordings, or email. Check us out!

All our interest Groups are formed and run by members, for members. They are at the heart of the U3A. Ideas for new groups are always welcomed, so if you think you could interest members in a subject, be it artistic, academic, physical or just fun, please contact any of the executive committee members.

For latest information about any of the groups listed click on the Group name and from that page you will be able to contact the relevant Group Coordinator.

Although GROUPS are only available to U3A members, non-U3A visitors are welcome to enjoy a trial 'taster' session at no charge by agreement with the appropriate Group Co-ordinator. There is a small charge for each group meeting, depending on the venue (£1.00 to £2.00).
