Groups

Please remember to bring your membership card to all events, with your Emergency Contact on the reverse.

Interest groups are at the heart of what u3a tries to do. They are led by members for members. The leader may have knowledge and experience of the subject or just want to know about something new that interests other members.

Activities are organised mainly in small groups that meet regularly, during daytime, often in each other’s homes. Members, through sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, learn from each other. 

If you would like to join any of our groups, you are most welcome to try a taster visit to one of their meetings. You may visit twice as a visitor and then if you would like to join the group you need to be a member of Frodsham u3a. This will ensure that you and the whole group are covered by the u3a insurance policy.

It’s important to contact the group leader by email via the link on the relevant individual group page before your first visit to make sure that you will be expected and that there will be room for you

Group leaders can be contacted by email by clicking on Group leader's name on each individual group page.

Most meetings are 2 hours long. Meetings at Frodsham Community Centre cost £2.00 per session and meetings in members' homes cost 50p to cover refreshments (u3a guideline).

If you would like to try something different that doesn't appear on our list then let us know.

Perhaps you'd like to run a group but don't know how to start - if so, please tell us, but don't worry, there is always someone willing to guide you.
