Groups

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.
