All of our Interest Groups are informal, inspired and enthused by their members. There is no formal structure and no classroom atmosphere; it’s all about learning for the pleasure of learning.
Many Interest Groups meet in members' homes, providing a friendly environment; others meet online or in venues around the area – and here, too, you will be sure of a warm welcome.
Choosing a group
First, check the lists of groups: browse through them, then click on the titles to find more about any groups that interest you. Perhaps you would enjoy revisiting an earlier skill or hobby, or trying something completely new?
If you see a group you like, your next step is to contact the group's Coordinator – you’ll find their contact details on each group’s own page. Most of our groups are led by volunteer Group Coordinators, who are also members.
You can go along to any group once as a ‘taster’ before deciding whether to join it. And if any group you want to join is full, ask the Group Coordinator to put you on a waiting list. If several members want to join a full group, we will try to set up a new parallel group.
Our website is regularly updated with information on groups, so keep checking these pages and you won’t miss anything!
