Interest Groups are the life blood of our u3a where the aim is helping members get together to learn something, share new experiences, and have fun.
u3a is a ‘broad church’ and open to all ideas for interest groups. Please feel you can suggest one – help and advice is readily at hand to help groups start up, email Jennifer, interestgroups@u3aburystedmunds.co.uk
The Group Organiser can be more than one person – it is often best if it doesn’t fall to one person, but to have a few members of the interest group help out in organising things as needed.
Subject Advisers are also on hand for many interests – click here
Remember a group doesn’t have to run for ever, it can have a finite length. Members’ choose how often they want to meet.
Update March ’24 – New Interest Groups starting soon include:
- Bridge (second group)
- Croquet
- Cryptic Crosswords

If you’d like to join any of these interest groups, please email Jennifer, interestgroups@u3aburystedmunds.co.uk
