Gloucester U3A welcomes new members and provides a means of making new friends in a convivial atmosphere. Groups are informal and friendly and the social element is very important. Programmes are worked out by mutual agreement amongst the group members. Some groups have a leader and a convenor; in others the roles are combined. There is a small charge for all group meetings. This may simply cover the cost of tea or coffee and incidental expenses, or, where necessary, the cost of hiring the room.
Numbers in groups are necessarily limited by space and other constraints. Unfortunately, this means that there may be waiting lists of people wishing to join some groups. When this happens, a new group can be formed if there is someone prepared to lead it. In any case, waiting lists tend to move quite quickly. If, as a member, you have a particular interest or expertise, it can be very rewarding to set up a new group. All groups have started in this way, and the large number of groups demonstrates that it is not difficult to get others to join you. The best way of enjoying your interests can be by sharing them with others.
