Groups
Interest Groups or Activity Groups are an integral part of the U3A concept. They comprise groups of members who meet together regularly, either fortnightly or once a month to pursue a subject of mutual interest.
Meeting venues differ according to the needs of the group - a small group may prefer to meet in someone's house, while a larger group or one that requires special equipment will need a larger venue, and a theatre, cinema or lunch group will meet at the theatre, cinema or restaurant.
All the groups will reflect the members' interests and aim to satisfy as wide a range as possible; educational, cultural, recreational, physical and social. The U3A Trust offers many supportive learning resources to which all groups have access. It is up to each group to decide how best meet the learning needs of it's members.
If an activity in which you are particularly interested in is not available, why not suggest it? Also, if you would like to be more involved in developing a group and sharing your knowledge and skills, please let us know!
We'd be delighted to hear about your ideas for interest groups. More information about possible groups will be posted as soon as we identify more group leaders. We are always open to suggestions for new groups. Why not send us some feedback now or let us know by contacting us via our website or at one of our monthly meetings.
Please keep in touch.
The following groups, along with group leaders, have been identified. All of these groups are now up and running.
