Would you like to start a group for your favourite activity or hobby?
We have a variety of interest groups, but there’s always room for more. Groups may be run on a short term basis for a few months or are ongoing for years! New members are welcomed to come up with some new ideas for us to occupy our time.
For example we do not at present have a Learn French group or a Tai Chi workshop, how about a Dance group!
The u3a is all about sharing your skills, experience and knowledge with others. Don't be afraid that, if you suggest a particular Group, you will be expected to lead it, or even to be an expert on the subject. Of course, if you are an expert, or even an expert enthusiast, that's great! Once set up, you could simply be the 'Contact' for the Group if you like. The Group Leader does not necessarily have expertise which means that everyone in the group contributes to the learning experience. You will meet lots of people, make new friends and keeping your mind active is always good. So come along and learn together!
Our Group Coordinators Pat and Sue can help you set up the group, and give you all the guidance and help you need to enjoy facilitating a group to add to our wide range of activities.
For more information either have a chat with Pat or Sue at the open meetings or email either of them by using the links below:
