13 members of the Walking Group in a doorway

One of the main benefits of joining the u3a is the opportunity to participate in our Special Interest Groups. We have a wide variety of groups running very successfully – you can use the list on this page to find out more about each one.

You must be a u3a member in order to take part in our group activities. This is essential to ensure that your participation in our activities is covered by the u3a’s insurance.

If you would like to join an Interest Group please contact the relevant Group Leader whose details you will find on each group’s page.

Also, if you would be willing to share your knowledge and/or enthusiasm for a topic that isn't currently available through Forfar and District u3a, please contact our Groups Co-ordinator

Janice Robinson

Some of our Groups also post information and photos on our Facebook page.
