Outdoor Groups
Bird Watching
When do we meet?
Second and fourth Wednesdays every month
What do we do?
We learn to identify birds in the field by call, appearance and silhouette. A programme of visits is produced and is available in August with a mixture of full and half days out.
All the sites are within East Anglia so driving is necessary and we encourage car sharing.
Some reserves charge for non-members.
At times we do traverse rough ground and stand around, as well as using hides.
Gardens
When do we meet?
Second Wednesday of the month.
From October to March there is a talk from a guest speaker also at the Hyndman Centre 2-4 pm
What do we do?
From April to September there are half or full day visits to a range of gardens. In November we hold a meeting to discuss the previous year’s activities and what members would like to do in the coming year.
Longer Walks
When do we meet?
First Thursday of the month
What do we do?
Walks of 9 – 15 miles taking a packed lunch with different members offering to lead walks as they can.
We take a packed lunch so there is the opportunity of travelling further afield and spending the whole day out.
Monday Walking
When do we meet?
First and third Monday mornings of the month (not July and August)
What do we do?
The exercise of a walk on Monday mornings in friendly company is a great way to start your week! Our walks are 4 to 6 miles in length and start at 10.00 a.m. Members of the group volunteer to lead walks and mention points of interest in the countryside, historic buildings, etc.
We occasionally have spaces for new members so please contact the group leader if you would like to hear more about the group or to be put on a waiting list.
Walking Too
When do we meet?
Fourth Thursday of month
What do we do?
Our Group members take it in turns to plan and lead walks which are approx 6 miles in length starting at 10.00. Lunch follows each walk (arranged by the walk leader), generally at a local pub.
Our walks are usually circular – starting and ending at or near the pub designated for lunch – however, members are welcome to plan linear walks when possession of a bus pass might come in handy!
Driving is necessary so we encourage car sharing.
If you are interested, please contact the Group Leader and you will be sent further details.
Wildlife Group
When do we meet?
Two Tuesday mornings each month with exceptions made to avoid clashes with the U3A Tuesday lectures
What do we do?
Indoor meetings and outdoor visits to areas of interest to extend our knowledge of the countryside. We study a wide range of local flora and fauna as well the wider natural world of woodlands, forests, heaths and local parks.
Currently full. Please email the group leader.

Become a Group Leader
The idea with U3A is that we all have knowledge we could share and interests we would like to expand. This is achieved mainly through Study Groups. Study Groups need someone (a Leader) to sort out what the Group does, where and when, and keeps members informed.
