Most members agree that taking part in interest groups is one of the most enjoyable benefits of joining their u3a. It’s a great way to learn something new and make friends.
Our smallest groups comprise a handful of members meeting in a host’s home, while our larger groups meet either in a community venue or out and about, or a mixture of the two.
Where groups meet in a community venue, the rental cost is divided equally between the group members. When meeting in a host’s home a contribution is usually made towards tea and coffee.
All of our groups are run by ordinary members of New Milton u3a. Our Group Leaders don't need any formal qualifications or expert knowledge, just enthusiasm for the subject. We have Beacon as our membership system and each group leader will have access to Beacon which will enable them to email their group members.
We’re always looking to start new groups, so if a group you want to find isn’t there, or the group you want to join is full, please volunteer to start a new one. Our Groups Coordinator will give you plenty of support and advice.
If it says that a group has a waiting list this indicates that we are starting another group.
