Interest Groups

West Dartmoor Interest Groups are varied and range from Classical Greek through Science Discussion,  Eating Out, Fruit & Vegetable Gardening, Bridge,  History and Walking …………to name a few, there are many others.

If your interest is not covered there is always the opportunity to start a group or make suggestions for a new group and it’s usually possible to meet in members’ homes.   We recently added some new groups – Meditation and Mindfulness, Film Seasons and Out and About.   Each group has a leader and this may be someone acting as a teacher or someone who coordinates the group’s activities – as happens with the Walkers, most of whom takes turns leading a walk.

Many of our groups have been active for years with new members adding to the mix, helping to keep the groups stimulated.  Some members enjoy running a short season of talks or other activities to cover a specific topic.  Every Interest Group works under the u3a umbrella but are self-determining and the possibilities for stimulation, enjoyment and satisfaction are endless.
