Group Information

We have an ever growing list of available Interest Groups which you can join.

Some of these meetings take place in members' homes and others in rented accommodation, the cost of which is shared by the group members.

Leaders of groups are not necessarily experts in the subject but are most certainly enthusiasts. The ethos of u3a is of sharing knowledge and ability.

We invite you to join us in this voyage of discovery and pleasure
