Forest of Dean

Groups

We have a wide range of established interest groups from which to choose. To attend any of our Interest Groups, you must be a current member of the Forest of Dean u3a.

Some groups are held in members homes but for each attendee at a group that has a hired venue a small fee is charged.

Each group is led by u3a members with the knowledge, experience or enthusiasm for the subject. Click the Group name in the list below to go to a page dedicated to that Group which will tell you a little about the Group, when they meet each month, as well as contact details.

We are always happy to receive new ideas for groups and would like to hear from anyone wishing to get a new group established. Full details of any additional groups will be publicised on the Website, in the Newsletter and at monthly General Meetings.

If you are interested in starting a new group please click this link to email our Groups Co-ordinator, Linda Greene.
