The ethos of the u3a is member-led learning. To join a group, please contact the Group Leader via the relevant group page below or contact the Group Liaison Officer. Please join Bedale and District u3a if you would like to take part in our activities.
If you have a particular interest or knowledge of a subject that is not on our list, why not get together with a friend and start a new group for that subject. Please contact our Group Liaison Officer. Help and support will be given.
