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
the menu - Webmaster)

Our
meetings are on the Monday in the week following the
week of the main U3A meeting |
A
group of keen, amateur, digital photographers meet once a
month to share our knowledge and enthusiasm. We sometimes go out on a shoot, or spend the afternoon comparing successful results with one another. 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. |

The Recorder Group meets on Monday afternoons (usually the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month but sometimes we change dates to accommodate members). Meetings are usually held in central Kettering. As well as solo items we play a variety of music written or arranged for recorders in two, three or four parts using descant, treble, tenor and bass recorders. Members choose which recorders they like to play. We would love to have some more players. It might be possible to start a beginners group – if enough people are interested. If you would like to join the group or are interested in learning to play please contact Mary Cooper. |
