Special Interest Groups

The grass roots of the u3a is its Special Interest Groups. Convened by the members for the members, anyone can form a group that reflects their special interest. Covering a vast range of subjects, most groups welcome people of all abilities.

If you are interested in joining a group, please contact the convenor via the bird on the specific group webpage for more information.

There are over 50 special interest groups available to all Beccles u3a members, they range from Arts and Crafts and to Languages, Music, Outdoor and other activities.

If you are interested in joining a particular group, you may attend 2 sessions without charge before attending any further sessions. However, the group convenor may, at their discretion, ask for a contribution if the meeting incurs significant expense.

NB. If you are not a registered Beccles u3a member you will be required to join Beccles u3a before you can attend any further sessions.

To find out what is available go to the Group Pages and have a look.

If you can't find the group you had in mind, and would be interested in running something of special interest to yourself, why not contact the Committee Chair and propose your new group. There are always groups that are proposed and listed below, all they need is a convenor and a couple of members.

Proposed New Groups

If you can help convene or would like to join any of the following new groups, please contact Pippa at Committee Chair.

Walking Group 1 is still looking for a new convenor.
This is a very friendly group of about 25 walkers who enjoy each other's company. Many of their members have been walking regularly with the group since its formation in 2015 and are very welcoming to newcomers to the group.

Online Groups

in addition to the groups organised and convened by members of Beccles u3a, there are also many online groups available some of which are not available through our branch.
