The u3a is based round our activity groups. Many meet in members’ houses, others meet in Patcham Memorial Hall, or Patcham Community Centre. You are welcome to join as many groups as you like, subject to space.
Click on the links below to find out more about what the Groups are up to.
For more specific information on a particular group, contact the Group Leader!
If there is no group in a subject which interests you, then how about starting one of your own. Lots of advice available from our current Group Coordinators.
Times are 10:00 to 12:00 for morning and 14:00 to 16:00 for afternoon meetings unless otherwise stated.
