Are you 
?
If so,
there are numerous Groups meeting regularly, each led by a
member of the U3A, in members' houses or local
halls. The activities we cover currently are
in the Group Activities Menu shown below. Why not join in.
We are always keen to expand our range of interests
and invite
members to suggest and set up new Groups. If you have an activity
suggestion, would consider leading a group, or would like to
contact a Group Leader click
here and then the link at the top of the Contact Us Page
(Note
to leaders - if you can find a better animated GIF file than
the one shown please send it to me and I will swap it.
Also have a look at the Documents for Leaders at the bottom of

There is always a homework task set for the next month. We also rely on the expertise of members of the group to teach us how to alter and improve our pictures using the Photoshop Elements program or Picassa on our computers. We meet on the Monday following the monthly U3A meeting at 3, St. Mary's Road, Kettering. (01536 482972) Unfortunately the group is full at the moment. |

Singing
for Pleasure |
Lynda Harris |
St
John's Church Hall |
We are a group who get together simply because we love to sing for pleasure! We practice on alternate

together but we have fun. Our voices are
lubricated with coffee and biscuits. We are now 20 strong and
practicing for little concerts at retirement homes in
the area and a group at CT King. |

Making
Music |
Alan Bailey |
John
Cooper's home |
We enjoy making music - mainly guitars/ukes - some old songs, some Country and Western, some folk, some (not much) modern. We meet every Friday pm. Playing in a group is different from playing for just yourself but we have a lot of fun trying out 'our' variations on tunes, chords and rhythms and annoying the neighbours. Beginners are welcome. |
