Sing with the u3a
Some u3a members have enquired about a singing group which, currently, we do not have. If you would be interested in joining a small choir [or, better still conducting one] please contact Val Croudass in the first instance on val.tewkes@gmail.com

Some groups are continuing to 'Learn, laugh and live' during the pandemic by using social media and video conferencing. Please contact the Group Leader for current information about any group you may wish to join.

Please see the 3rdagetrust website Covid advice on u3a activities for the latest guidance on resuming interest groups.

All u3a activities should have an appropriate risk assessment Risk assessments to ensure the activity is safe for members to participate. Individual members must have access to the completed risk assessment (and any other relevant Covid-19 information/guidance about the location/venue and activity) in order to make their own decision, based on personal circumstances (not shared) and current Govt Covid-19 advice, and then advise the Group Leader if they are safe and wish to participate in the activity. Obviously, anybody with coronavirus symptoms within their household must not participate and should follow appropriate isolation and health guidance.

You will find a list of current groups below. Click on the group name for more details and look out for the blue envelope icon at the top right of each group's page to contact the Group Leader.

If you want to know what happens on particular days, to fit around your current commitments, see the table at the base of this page.

Not one to your taste? Consider starting a new one!! Any member may organise a group of members, with the Group Liaison Officer's help and support, to enjoy any legal activity under the u3a umbrella. A Group Leader does not need to be an expert - any experts in the group can enjoy sharing their knowledge with the group, or you can all learn together. More information here: Start a new group

*****

Accessibility All rented venues should have good disabled access and toilet facilities, and Group Leaders aim to ensure that those with disabilities are catered for, should they wish to join a group.

When contacting a group leader with a view to joining a group, please remember to let the group leader know if you have any disabilities which may impact on your attendance or on your participation in the group. Group leaders will make every effort to address any issues such as access, safety, etc.
