List Of Interest Groups

This is the complete list of all the currently active interest groups being held by Sutton Coldfield u3a.

Members attending meetings in hired rooms will be asked to pay a small fee towards room hire, and a further small amount if external speakers are hired to talk or tutor on specific subjects. This is usually between £2 and £5 per person for up to 2 hours, although a small number of groups who have a specialist tutor may charge more.

Important: Would all members please note that you will sometimes need to show a current membership card or quote your membership number when attending groups. This is to ensure that all attendees are current members, since the u3a-wide Beacon Membership System now shows anyone who hasn't renewed their membership as being lapsed.

New members are welcome to visit a group to see if it is of interest before committing to join as a member of that group.

Please click on any of the group names below to read more details about that particular group, including details of where and when they meet and the contact form which enables you to contact the Group Organiser.

Please note that where a scheduled meeting falls on a public holiday, no meeting will take place that day. For instance, if meetings are scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Mondays in a month, and the 1st Monday is a public holiday, the next meeting to take place will be on the 3rd Monday.
