Groups

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.

To find out more about their activities, you can also look at the recent Monthly Groups Reports.

Prospective members are invited to a taster session of either one of our groups or one of our monthly meetings. After that, 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 Convenor whose details you will find on each group’s page.
