Thame & District u3a has established a range of Groups covering Educational, Social and Physical activities. Groups are run by the members.
To join one of these Groups, individuals must be members of Thame & District u3a or another local u3a, to apply see the Membership Page.
Thame & District u3a is always interested in offering its members new groups. We would therefore welcome suggestions from members, particularly from anyone with a skill or interest to share with others. We are especially keen to find people with foreign language skills to supplement the 6 classes already held in 4 languages.
Enquiries about current Groups can be sent directly to the Group Leader (click on the group below and then on the link next to the leader's name). For enquiries about forming new Groups contact the Groups Co-Ordinator, using the Contacts page.
Links to details of the Groups are shown below.
