Groups

Groups are the beating heart of a u3a, and at Mansfield u3a we’re proud to offer a wide range of interest groups run by dedicated volunteers.

If you’d like to join a group, please contact the Group Leader first using the link on the group’s page to check availability. We kindly ask that you don’t attend a meeting without getting in touch in advance.

Thinking of starting a new group or just want to explore the idea? Contact our Group Convenor, Linda Kennedy, via the button on the Contact page—she’ll be happy to help.

All Groups have a Risk Assessment form for reference at the bottom of the each Group's page.
