Groups

The Pensionistas Centre is currently closed. This will affect all groups that use the centre.

Find out more about the closure

One of the main benefits of the u3a is the opportunity to participate in our groups and clubs. We have around 40 separate groups across a variety of interest/sports/activities groups – use the list on this page to find out more about each one. Remember that you must be a u3a member in order to take part regularly in a group activity, although you are welcome to try a group at the group leaders discretion. Please contact the leader of the group you are interested in joining.

If you're not a member, then join now - it's only 10€ a year. If you have any questions, you will find contact details for the group leader on each group's page. And if you have any suggestions for new groups, or fancy being a group leader, please email the Group Co-ordinator.

We're working on a range of new groups, based on your feedback. But we need to know who's interested, and we may need help to find a group leader or tutor.

We're currently exploring groups art lessons, drawing lessons, small group Spanish classes, board games, regular walks and extra lunch clubs.
