Please look for details in the current newsletter, or contact the group co-ordinator.
The Blackwater U3A has a large number of interest groups covering a variety of subjects and interests; details will be found below.
We are open to suggestions for new groups; especially from members who feel they can help with the running of a group covering their particular skills and interests.
Please contact any committee member with any suggestions and offers of help.
We had a thank you lunch to show how much we appreciate all the coordinators do for our u3a.
Here was a message we received.
"Thank you for holding the get together today and a very tasty lunch. A most enjoyable time.
Much appreciated, please pass my thanks on to all those involved in the food preparation, serving and clearing away."
