NEW GROUPS

Is there a subject you would like to explore which isn’t on our group list, or do you have an interest which you could share with others? The philosophy of u3a is to enjoy shared learning in social groups. As a committee we are here to help produce a wide and exciting program of activities. Initially we can email out information regarding your idea and then help to set up a meeting with interested parties. Advice is always available from the committee, and group convenors are happy to pass on their experience. Often groups start off with a small number and grow to fit the activity. There’s plenty of advice available so if you think you can help start the ball rolling on a new group please don’t hesitate to contact me at janestables@icloud.com . For further information please see the articles "How groups are organised" and "The role of the group convenor" at https://penrith-n-lakes.u3asite.uk/documentation/ .
