Groups
Scunthorpe u3a ia a registered charity No. : 1191994
The Scunthorpe & District u3a has approximately 25 Interest Groups which are individual organisations offering a wide range of interests and activities, and at the bottom of this page, you will find details of them all.
New Interest Groups are always welcome and it could well be that you have some expertise in a subject which is not listed. If so, how about setting up another interest group yourself? It would appear that Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon are free!
All Interest Groups have a Convenor who normally acts as the contact point for group members, arranging the programme and securing a venue. Meetings take place in members' homes or perhaps in a commercial venue. If in a commercial venue, it is usual for the members to pay a small fee by way of a contribution towards the cost. Some may also charge for refreshments.
Some Interest Groups will have a regular meeting day, perhaps 'every second Tuesday' or 'Fortnightly'. If this is the case then all is well. However if the Interest Group has a range of activities which take place on varying dates, then the relevant information is supplied in the 'Events' section.
Please have a look at the Interest groups listed below. To obtain further information on any of them, please "click" on the relevant Interest Group title to obtain the information you need. Clicking on the "angel" icon will allow you to send a message to the group Convenor.
You may also find some groups have a ****News Report*** page or Photo Gallery, just click on the link on the r/hand side of the page.
