Interest Groups

Interest groups are the engines of life-long learning in the u3a and meet regularly to study subjects of common interest. The group coordinator takes responsibility for organising meetings, which run without distinction between teachers and learners. Members share their knowledge and experience and enjoyment is the prime motive.

Scroll down this page to see a list of our current groups. For further information click on the highlighted group name to open the group page. You can email the group coordinator for further information via the email link at the top left of the group page. Please note if you are interested in joining a group you must contact the individual Group coordinator in advance via the email link.

If you have an interest that is not yet represented, it is likely that others will share this interest. So if you would like to start a new group please contact  Kim Thorogood (Hobbies Groups Secretary) or  Andrew Thomas (Activity Groups Secretary) for help. Equally, if a group you are interested in is already full please consider setting up an additional group.

Loan of u3a Equipment

Glenfield u3a has some equipment (Windows 10 laptop, Blue Tooth Speaker, Projector, Projector Screen and 5 litre pump action flasks) which is available to be borrowed by Group Coordinators for their group activities. To request their loan please contact Equipment Loan.
