Note that you need to be a member of Ashtead u3a or another local u3a group in order to join any of these groups.
What groups are available?
Ashtead u3a has nearly 70 groups available covering a range of activities. The list is below, alphabetically, by category, by day, or by venue.
How do I join a group?
The fastest and easiest way is to visit that group's web page (below) and send a message to the Group Leader via the group email address.
How much does it cost?
Your annual u3a subscription gives you access to all groups. Most activities are free, but outings, study days and meals out etc do incur cost.
If the Group you are interested in is full, please contact the Groups Co-ordinator as there may be a waiting list or others may be interested in forming an additional group.
If you have an interest in something we don't already have a group for, why not suggest starting one?
Or, if you want to kick-start your knowledge before joining or suggesting a new group, learning Online could be for you.
Please contact the Groups Co-ordinator with suggestions or more information about Groups.
