Groups

It is with a heavy heart that, in light of the current situation and in line with Government advice, the committee has decided that all TU3A meetings and groups should be closed until further notice. The situation will be reviewed monthly by the committee and Group Leaders will be updated as appropriate.

We are aware that some TU3A members may be in need of help during these difficult times. While we are not a 'helping' organisation, if you or a member that you know consider that the Committee can be of assistance, please call 01684 325013. Some committee members, if not in isolation, will be happy to assist if they can.

POSSIBLE NEW GROUPS

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Is there interest in starting a new group on How to be a Public Speaker? Many of you will have had interesting careers, experiences, hobbies etc, or have passionate ideas you wish to share with others. However, do you have the skills and confidence to share them with others? A new group is proposed (possibly only for a short period) to help you to achieve those skills and enhance your confidence to present them in a professional and satisfying way.

**
French for Beginners
Learning French from the beginning, for people who have no, or very little, knowledge of French. The group is likely to start on Friday mornings, about 10am. We will concentrate our efforts on talking and understanding, in everyday situations like booking a hotel room, eating out, shopping, etc. There will be some homework in order to ensure positive progress.

You will find a list of current groups below. Just click on the group name for more details.

Please note that groups which are coloured grey are currently full, but please register your interest with the Group Leader. If there is enough interest, another group could be started. Groups which are coloured yellow are new groups, with space available.

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 may be a novice at the activity - any experts in the group can enjoy sharing their knowledge with the group.

Shared Learning Projects
There are a variety of fascinating SLPs taking place within the South West. 'A Shared Learning Project (SLP) involves a team of U3A members, from one or more U3As, exploring a specific topic proposed by a U3A or by an institution such as a museum, university, library, the National Trust or stately home. Some have a set time span but this is not necessarily a requirement.
For more information copy and paste the following link into your browser: Shared Learning Projects or click on U3A SLP leaflets 1 and 2 (above)

*****

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.
