Join as many groups as you can find time for!
We have all sorts of interest groups
Please note: Only paid-up members of South Manchester u3a may attend our interest groups more than once. However, we do allow 'taster' sessions when you may attend a group to see if it is for you before joining the u3a. These taster sessions are limited to 2 and should be different groups.
You need to contact the Groups Co-ordinator to see if there is room in the group before attending.
