Groups

To view more about a group click on the group name in the list below

To send an enquiry about a group please click on the link beside Group email at the top of the group page and complete your message in the fields given, including your telephone number in the message so we can also call you. It would be much appreciated if you could always contact them by e-mail.

The usual way that the u3a works is that members form their own interest group and run it themselves. It can be very rewarding working with other members to organise how the group runs and getting it started.

If you, possibly with another member, have an idea, skill or talent for a new group and would like to take the initiative in starting it, please have a word with one of our Group Coordinators, who will help you get started.

You can email them here Coords
