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.

Most of our groups take a well deserved holiday over the hot summer months, But there's still lots to do.

Drama, Canasta, Bridge, Pétanque, Lunch Club, Bowls and Golf all run as normal. And Body & Mind and the Book club are still running in July,

If you want to know more, visit the specific group page and contact the group leader.
