u3a

West Leicestershire

Groups

The u3a has an informal style of learning with the ethos of members sharing their knowledge and skills in a relaxed way whilst having fun.

Groups meet regularly to study a common interest, with the style, format and content being agreed by consensus. Groups meet in a variety of venues to suit their needs and cover their own expenses (eg room hire). Each group has one or two main contacts who are not necessarily experts in a subject but are enthusiastic.

Ideas for new groups are always welcome, please talk to a committee member (look for the blue lanyards) at the main meeting or contact by email.
