u3a

Cam, Dursley & District

Groups

Interest Groups are an essential element of the u3a. They are self sufficient, setup and are run by members for members. Of course, you need to become a member Cam, Dursley and District u3a before you can join a group. Our current Interest Groups are listed below but there is always the potential to add a new one!

Each group page provides further information.You'll find groups meet at different times and different frequencies. Simply contact the Group leader for the latest information by clicking on their name at the top of each group page.

If you cannot see anything that interests you, could you help get an Interest Group going? If so why not Contact our Groups Coordinator now. Share your knowledge and skills - that's what u3a is all about!

As part of the Cotswold Link network (https://cotswold-link.u3asite.uk), our members may attend meetings of one group from one other Link u3a without the need for associate membership.

Group Leaders: if you’d like to post notices of events or add notes/photographs to your group page, please contact Graham via the Website help button on the Contact page.
