Interest Groups are an integral part of the U3A experience, and below you will find a list of those groups that the Crouch End and District U3A currently offers.
Please note that if you would like to partake in the activities of any group, you must first be a member of that group.
To join a group complete the contact form on the page of the group in which you are interested. The group page provides a description of aims and objectives, location and frequency of meetings or events.
The contact form requires your name, email address, and membership number, and a message. Your message will be send to the Group Convener, who will reply with more specific details about the group and its programme as well as availability of places.
You will be required to show proof of membership when you attend a group activity for the first time.
Where a group meeting is held in someone’s home and the host provides refreshment, it is U3A convention to offer the host a small contribution to the cost. The current U3A policy is 50p.
If you would like to set up a Group, our New Groups organiser is on hand to provide practical advice and moral support. Please email newgroups@cedu3a.org.uk with details of your proposal.
