Groups

Interest Groups are an integral part of the u3a concept and group members meet together regularly to pursue subjects of mutual interest. The aim is to satisfy as wide a range of interests as possible and ideas for new groups are always welcome. Any member can offer to start a new group and there is help available to facilitate this.

A list of all current groups appears below and clicking on the title will take you through to the relevant page.

Some groups may make small charges to cover particular expenses such as the hire of a public venue, materials or travel costs, and there may be additional costs if you choose to attend certain of our social events and outings.
