Interest Groups
The u3a is based round our activity groups. Many meet in members’ houses, others meet in Patcham Memorial Hall, or Patcham Community Centre. You are welcome to join as many groups as you like, subject to space.
Groups marked with a * are now meeting on Zoom. Click on Zoom for Patcham u3a to know how to join a meeting

For more specific information on a particular group, contact the Group Leader!
If there is no group in a subject which interests you, then how about starting one of your own. Lots of advice available from our current Group Coordinators.
Times are 10:00 to 12:00 for morning and 14:00 to 16:00 for afternoon meetings unless otherwise stated.
