Salisbury & District

Groups

Individual Group Leaders decide on their timetable and frequency of meetings. They are responsible for specifying the size of the group, communicating with the group and monitoring the waiting list to see if there is an opportunity to create a second group.

The Leaders will specify costs of running the group, such as venue hire, or the cost of purchasing books or materials, for example. Where group leaders hold meetings in their homes there may be a nominal charge per meeting to cover the cost of refreshments.

You must be a member of Salisbury & District u3a, either Full or Other u3a (ie Associate), to participate in our groups and activities; this is for reasons of fairness and insurance.

Our U3A is run for you by you! There are no paid officers and we rely on our members to help keep our U3A going. If you have an idea for a new group, don't hesitate to contact the Group Co-ordinator, or any one of the committee, for help in starting it up. There is lots of support available and new groups, or even duplicates of existing groups that are over-subscribed, are always welcome.

Important Information

Once you have looked at a group and are interested in joining, click to apply. You will be sent to the Members Portal of our management system, Beacon. If you have not used Beacon before, click on 'Register for a membership account' and then follow the onscreen instructions. There is some more detailed guidance here.
