Groups
Interest Groups meet once or twice a month. Sometimes the venue remains the same and sometimes it rotates. Venues vary from members` houses, if the groups are small, to community centres and village halls and other such locations when the numbers are larger.
For FULL details of any group please click on the name of the group in the list below to visit its web page.
If you would like to join an Interest Group for the first time, contact the group leader to make sure that the group is suitable for you and also that there are vacancies. Some groups have to restrict numbers for a variety of reasons including size of venue.
Additionally any member of Retford U3A is welcome to join in with Worksop U3A Cinema Group. For current details of this group visit Worksop U3A web site.
For general queries about our interest groups you can contact the Group Co-ordinators by email: co-groups@retford-u3a.org.uk
