Interest Groups bring together people who want to pursue interests in an informal and friendly way. We currently have 60+ Interest Groups covering 45 different activities ranging from Aerobics to Wine Tasting. Scroll down and click/tap on the Details button of the Interest Group that interests you to find out more about each group. Interest Groups are run by fellow u3a members and each group meets, on average, once or twice a month.
Select the group that interests you from the lists displayed below and contact the Group Coordinator for more information and to check whether there is a vacancy. You can contact the Group Coordinators directly from the Group – some pages display telephone numbers and/or a form into which you can enter a message and click on “Submit” to send it to the Coordinator. You can attend two meetings before deciding if you wish to join the group. After attending the initial two trial meetings, you must become a member of Burton Joyce & District u3a. You can join via the Join Us page, which shows how much the (modest) subscription is and contains a link to an online application form.
Sharing your interests with others is one of the best ways to truly enjoy them! If you have skills or hobbies that aren’t already covered, and you’re eager to share them with fellow members, please contact the Groups Facilitator to explore the possibility of starting a new group. The Facilitator can be contacted by telephone or email – click on this link for details – Contact Us – Burton Joyce U3A
Our national u3a organization boasts over 80 subject advisers for various interest groups. You can view the details by clicking on this link – u3a – Subject Advice Take a moment to check if there’s a national adviser for your area of interest. If there is, you’re likely to find them to be a fantastic resource and very supportive if you’re considering stepping up as a Group Coordinator.
Many groups have been born from this initiative, and the sheer variety of groups available shows that it’s not hard to rally others to join you. So, why not take the plunge and share your passion?
