Alnwick u3a run a variety of groups which are open to all our members. All the groups are listed at the bottom of this page. Click on a group name to see further information.
If any non-members think they might be interested in joining us, new members are always welcome. If you're not sure about becoming a u3a member, you could attend one of our monthly meetings, or one of the interest groups, before deciding if you wish to join.
If you would like to come along to an interest group, please contact the group leader first, via the link on the relevant page. This is to safeguard any groups which are full, and for insurance purposes.
If you don't see the kind of group you are looking for, perhaps you would like to start a new group. You don't have to be an expert, and help is available. If you think you might be willing to do this, please contact the Groups Coordinator.
To be a group leader you would need to be a member of the u3a first. To join Alnwick u3a, please contact the Membership Secretary. You can get in touch with both of these people via the Contacts tab above.
Some Group resources can be found here.
