Interest Groups, normally just referred to as groups, are the core of the U3A. They provide opportunities for members to learn or practise skills of all kinds. Some members may provide education in a particular skill, or group members may work together to acquire the skills. Groups currently operating in Exeter u3a are listed below:
New members should view the Information for Members page to learn more about the way in which groups operate; while any members can start a new group, and anyone looking for an activity that is not currently covered may wish to look at the Information for Convenors page.
