Our Special Interest Groups

u3a subject groups are self-organising, and, unless otherwise stated, meet on a regular basis in members' own homes. They each have a coordinator/leader, who may or may not be an expert in the subject to be studied, but who is willing to do some of the organisation.

Members will be required to pay a small fee for any refreshments served in a member's home; for groups meeting in a public venue the fee will include a contribution to the cost of hiring the premises; organised visits and trips will also incur travel costs.

Group meetings are usually held monthly (with some exceptions detailed below): click on the Group heading to get precise details. There are the normal breaks for Christmas and other holidays. Groups currently running are listed below. Please use the link for the timetable.

New Groups are always welcomed!

Some groups are getting together by Zoom whilst others meet in person. Please contact the group leader for further information.
