Market Drayton

Groups

At the core of Market Drayton U3A are our Group activities which meet at various locations, times and days, in hired rooms or members' homes.

These groups are on a self-help basis and are run by members for members. Do you have a talent that you would like to share? if so let us know and we will help you set up a group to pass on your knowledge.

Before joining any group you must be a member of the u3a, please contact the membership secretary for joining information. Membership Secretary

Reminder we would appreciate if all members could ensure they carry their membership cards.

This is a quick summary of the groups and general information, otherwise scroll further down for more detailed information.
