Activity Groups are an important part of our u3a and consist of groups of members who meet together regularly to enjoy an activity. A prospective member may attend two monthly or group meetings as a guest before deciding to join our u3a.
All the groups reflect the members' interests with a wide a range of social, active, creative and learning activities.
Below is a list of our 80+ current groups and by clicking on any group you will find more information about who runs it and the activities they get involved in. The week numbers in the list below refer to the weeks of the month.
If you are interested in joining a group you should contact the facilitator of the group by using the link on that group's page.
For any general information or to start a new group, message the Groups Coordinator via the Contacts page.
