Doncaster

Groups

Group at skittles

Interest groups are the backbone of the u3a and we are all grateful to our current group leaders for the time and commitment they give.

Our Groups cover both 'Study' topics and those which are more 'Leisure' orientated.

See below for the full list of Doncaster u3a groups.

Groups set their own agendas and work at their own comfortable pace. They are fully democratic, non-sectarian and non-political.

The key is enjoyment where learning is for its own sake and for that moment.

All members are asked to contact the Group Leader before attending a group for the first time. You can do this by clicking on the link on the group page.

Non-members can also contact the group leader to arrange attendance at a taster session. After which you need to become a paid-up member of the Doncaster u3a if you wish to take part in further group meetings or activities.

The group pages will tell you about frequency and venue. You can also see all upcoming groups in one place on the calendar. Some of our groups will have a small cost associated with their venue. These costs can be found on the venue pages.

If you have an interest and we do not yet have a group, please contact the Group Co-ordinator.

The National u3a also run a selection of groups online and you can find out about those by clicking here.
