Groups

Registered charity - 1171722

We are adding to our list of groups all the time. Rose has details of groups looking for members. She also has interest in some topics but needs someone to offer to coordinate the group . If you want to know more about groups in the pipeline, or want to join a current group use the " Holme Valley u3a email " and ask Rose to email or phone you.

Some activities are not quite so regular, but there may be space to join in. We have an Early bird diners club. It sometimes meets lunchtimes and sometimes early evening. There is a Theatre Group, open to all members, which organises trips to a range of genres at theatres in the region – for more information about this group please see the ‘Theatre’ tab at the top of the website homepage. We also have a programme of Days out for 2025. Again an email will reach the right person.

Some groups are now establishing their own pages on this site, so they can share more details. You can find out about the theatre group and days out from the buttons at the top of the website. For other groups, if they have a page, click on the coloured Group name link in the table below.
