Woodspring

Groups

We usually have between 45 and 50 groups and they vary considerably in both type and size. Smaller groups generally meet in members' homes, whilst larger ones use a suitable hall. Many meet on a regular fortnightly or monthly basis. Others, by their nature, meet on an ad-hoc basis. Information about all current groups, including contact details, is available by clicking on the links below.

To join a group you must be a member of a u3a, priority being given to Woodspring u3a members. Please contact the relevant group leader to see if there is space available in the group, and to obtain details of meetings.

If you'd like to enquire about a specific group, please click on the link for that group and you'll be taken to a page with more detail and an email option. Please click on the email link on that page if you wish to send a message to the Group Leader.

If you have any general enquiries about our groups please contact the Group Coordinator via the Contact link above.
