Groups

Please note that in order to sign up for our interest groups you must be a member of Maidstone U3A.

To join a group send a message to the Interest Groups Co-ordinator or the Group Leader of your chosen group. You can also contact them at our monthly meeting.

We have a wide range of well established interest groups from which to choose. Each group is led by members with knowledge, experience or enthusiasm for the subject. Click the Group name in the Group List below for more information.

In some cases groups are so popular that they are over subscribed. If a group is full a new group will be formed and listed on the New Groups page where you may register your interest. Full details of any additional groups will be given on the Website, in the Newsletter and at monthly General Meetings.

We are always happy to receive new ideas for groups and would like to hear from anyone wishing to get a new group established. We are also keen to find additional Group Leaders for Groups shown as oversubscribed. Please send a message to get in touch with our New Groups Organiser .

IF THE GROUP YOU WANT TO JOIN HAS NO SPACES AVAILABLE PLEASE LET THE Interest Groups Co-ordinator KNOW IMMEDIATELY

See the Diary page for up to date details of Groups and Events and Interest Groups Matter for an explanation of how groups work.
