There are about 200 Interest and Activity groups in SU3A. They are run by the members, and only members of SU3A can join. You are welcome to try out one or two group meetings before deciding to join SU3A. Please contact the coordinators for details.
Following a well-attended new members’ meeting in September and feedback from folks on waiting lists for existing groups, suggestions have been made for possible new groups:
- Re-engaging with German
- Chess
- Cryptic crosswords
- More rummikub
- Archaeology
- Bridge for beginners
If there is any interest in any of these topics please contact Fran Rodway initially, Fran Rodway or 07774 142409. Any new group would need a leader so maybe you’d be up for that too? You can also contact Fran if you have a new group idea you want to discuss.
Click on a Group name in the list below to find further information about that Group.
