GROUPS

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO START A GROUP PLEASE CONTACT LINDA, OUR GROUPS CO-ORDINATOR, VIA OUR CONTACT PAGE, OR HAVE A CHAT WITH HER AT OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS

The Groups Convenors would be grateful if you could let them know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend a group session as many of them prepare materials, etc for use at each meeting. Thank you

The u3a’s aim is to further educate and stimulate retired members of the community.
We acknowledge that many people retire with a lifetime of knowledge and experience which they should be encouraged to share with their neighbours.
Our groups aim to satisfy the widest range of interests: educational, cultural, recreational, physical and social.

Canvey Thameside group meetings are held at various locations within this area. Group activities are chosen by members.
In keeping with the u3a principle of "self help and co-operation", all group activities are led by a member of the Group and each Group has a Leader or Convenor.

New Groups may be formed at any time. If there is a demand for a specific interest, say by two or three members, the Groups Coordinator, Linda, can put these interested members in touch and hopefully a new group will be born! So make sure you let Linda know of your interests.

The groups list is constantly changing and it is advertised each month to members in our newsletter which is distributed at our monthly meetings and groups updates are show on our notice board and this website. Linda also has tables set up at our meetings to enable members to make enquiries and sign up for any of the groups that have started. Members can also put ideas forward to Linda concerning groups you would be interested in joining or starting.

We have a diary on the Events page for you to check special upcoming events and outings.

For further details on the groups below please contact our Groups Coordinator Linda via our Contact page or follow the Group Convenor contact link on the individual group's page.
