Groups
If you are thinking of joining Soar Valley U3A because you are interested in a particular activity, please check the Group List below to see if the activity is listed. If it is, you should ideally contact the Group Leader or Groups Coordinator to check availability because some Groups may be full, and waiting lists are then held.
Contact details for Group Leaders can be found in the Group List and those for the Groups Coordinator are also given below.
Every effort is made to ensure that members are able to join a Group of their choice (see Group Policy).
However it is possible for new study and activity groups to be formed at any time if there is sufficient interest and a volunteer with appropriate knowledge or skills to organise the group. Members are encouraged to set up and put forward ideas for new groups.
All Groups need a Leader, a role which isn't as difficult as may be thought, and can actually be very satisfying. To get some idea of what might be entailed see the notes on being a Group Contact
