Groups

The heart of any u3a is it's Interest Groups.  We have over 85 groups and our primary aim is to have fun within a shared learning environment, exchanging skills and knowledge within a social context.

Our Leaders don't necessarily need to be experts in the subject matter but serve to facilitate the group's activities.

Just contact the Interest Group Leader if you want to Join a group. Details about meeting dates and venues are all shown on the group pages below.

Any member can start a new group. Contact the Groups’ Coordinator for guidance.

Do Volunteer to pass on your skills and experience to fellow u3a members

Our Group Coordinator is always looking for ideas for New Interest Groups or improvements to our current selection of groups. We want to try and provide a range of subjects that our members might like to explore new oportunities or just continue a current interest. Click on the button to see the current ideas.
