Groups

Learn, Laugh and Live!  -  the aim and purpose of the national u3a through the Group Activities!

The Activities Groups are one of the mainstays of the u3a movement.  The Lyme Regis u3a has over 30 groups covering a wide variety of subjects (
see lists below and click on a page).  Some groups help maintain and improve fitness, such as Badminton, Tennis, the Walking Groups and more; others offer an opportunity to have a go at a new skill or craft, whilst languages are always popular.

Share an interest in Science & Technology or join like-minded members in visiting gardens. Studies are all undertaken at the group’s own agreed speed and there are no exams to take.  Members are encouraged to see the value and take pleasure in learning for its own sake.


It is the Group Leaders who help make u3a such a success by giving their time voluntarily to provide members with a wide variety of learning opportunities.  This keeps costs to a minimum.

If you are interested in joining a group click on the group name to find more details.  Don't be put off if the group is full because your participation  may lead to a second or third group being formed.  As few as two or three people may form a group.  Small groups meet in members’ homes, where space allows, whilst larger groups use local community facilities for which a small charge may apply.

We are always keen to start new groups.   If you’ve got any ideas for additional subjects, or are willing to volunteer as a group leader using your own specialism or interest please contact us.

The Groups Coordinator is Yvonne Marsh - [email protected]
