Although we now have over thirty groups we are always looking for people to set up and lead new ones. If the subject you are interested in is not available, what about setting up your own group? You do not have to be an expert to lead a group and help and advice is always available. Please contact Steve Aremia on 01949 831537, bingham.u3a.database@gmail.com to discuss any ideas you have.
Running a group involves the following:
Keeping details of the regular members so that they can be contacted
Taking enquiries and giving information to any u3a member that wants to join the group
Setting up dates and venues and maybe refreshments or delegating these duties
Occasionally attend a meeting of Group Leaders
Send information/reports to the website and Newsletter as required ...
... or you could just organise a rota to do all or some of the above!
We have run courses on: The Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall; History of the Workhouse; Brain Health and Climate Change; Tying up Loose Ends and we are hoping to run more in the future. Please contact Linda Molineaux on 07855 762775 bingham.u3a.programme@gmail.com if you might be willing to run one or have any suggestions for a course you would like to see offered.
We have had the following suggestions for groups but we need members who are willing to share their expertise:
Craft Group
Country and/or square dancing
Could you help with any of these - or do you have any other suggestions?
