u3a Members benefit from being able to join our Interest Groups which cover a wide variety of subjects. Some members join the u3a just to be able to participate in our friendly groups led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic leaders. Our groups cover a wide variety of interests, but there is always room for new ideas or reviving previous groups with new organisers.
Leaders decide to meet either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. There are various venues in our area and some groups may meet in the homes of the leader or other members. Click on the Groups list below to see more details for each group.
Anyone interested in joining a group, or, perhaps, forming a new group, please email Felicity Taylor the Groups Co-ordinator .
See also the Groups Co-ordinator page.
