Beeston U3A

New Groups News

We, Anne Pinnock and Kathy Shipway, are introducing ourselves as your new Groups Co-ordinators.

Beeston U3A now has about 80 interest groups, so hopefully, there should always be something that you like the idea of trying out.

However, we are always keen to hear from you about any suggestions you have for setting up new groups. Once a new group idea has been approved by the committee, the next step is to advertise it on the monthly rolling notices, in order to start compiling a list of interested people. We then usually organise a meeting for those people to get together to discuss the best way forward to get the group up and running. We always try to encourage a team approach to running a group, so that the responsibility doesn’t fall on to just one person.

Groups that are currently in the early stages of development are: Backgammon; Tennis; Yoga (not beginners); Croquet; Chess; Cinema Visits; and Calligraphy.

If you are interested in any of these groups, or have a suggestion for a new group, please email us at groups@beestonu3a.org.uk
