This page is under development and will hold information helpful for anyone thinking of becoming a group organiser, or those already acting as the organiser of an interest group.

Would you consider being a group organiser?

New ideas are coming forward for interest groups on a regular basis. The organiser should come from those who have expressed an interest in that particular group

This could be you! If you are considering offering to become an organiser take a look at the information here or contact the Groups Coordinator via the website contact page to find out more.

Extract from the 'Aims and guiding principals' of the Third Age Trust:

The Self-help Learning Principle

a) Members form interest groups covering as wide a range of topics and activities as they desire; by the members, for the members.

b) No qualifications are sought or offered. Learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive, not qualifications or awards.

c) There is no distinction between the learners and the teachers; they are all u3a members.

Organisers Handbook

There is a u3a handbook for organisers which can be obtained from the u3a Third Age Trust website

Grant applications

The committee of Aylsham and District u3a has set aside some money in consideration of any interest group requiring a grant. Contact the Groups Coordinator for further details and an application form..
