Groups
Interest groups are formed by our U3A members for the members. Most interest groups are relatively small. Agreement of all interested parties is sought on the venue, time and day of meeting. Many of the groups elect to meet in each other's houses, where this is not viable, such as Tai Chi, a room will be booked. Members of that group will be asked for a small contribution to the cost.
The aim of all interest groups is to share knowledge, expertise and have fun.
It may be just the opportunity you have been waiting for, to try out something new within a friendly supportive group.
You may wish to start up a new interest group.
All groups have a facilitator who is the link with the groups co ordinator . There is a facilitators pack to support you, however there is always someone to help that's only a phone call or email away!
Our Interest Group Coordinator will be only too pleased to talk to you and support you in the initial stages of creating a new group. (Click on the contact tab and send your query to the Group Co-ordinator)
Interest Group Update 23rd July 2020
In addition to the online virtual Group Meetings, your Committee has given approval for the reintroduction of OUTDOOR meetings subject to Government guidance and support relating to COVID 19.
As part of the meeting planning process, the Interest Group Facilitator is required to complete a General Outdoor Activity Risk Assessment. This should be circulated to interest group members and it contains a personal risk assessment for these members to complete and keep. A copy of this document can be seen by clicking on the link on the right hand column of this page
Any Facilitator planning an outdoor meeting will supply his or her members with all the advance information needed.
It will not be appropriate for all groups to start meetings just yet and INDOOR meetings are still suspended.
If you have any questions, please go to the Contact page of this website and message the Interest Group Coordinator
