One of the main benefits of joining the u3a is the opportunity to participate in our special Interest Groups. We have a wide variety of interest groups running very successfully – you can use the list on this page to find out more about each one.
You must be a u3a member in order to take part in our interest group activities. This is essential to ensure that your participation in our activities is covered by the u3a’s insurance.
If you would like to join an Interest Group please contact the relevant Group Leader whose details you will find on each group’s page.
Groups need members to take turns organising events or providing refreshments etc.
We cannot always rely on just a few people to do everything. ALL MEMBERS ARE REMINDED that the U3A is run by everyone taking an active part and that non contributors could be removed from group mailing lists.
We are setting up new interest groups, so if you have an idea for one please talk to/contact the group coordinator who will be delighted to help get it started.
