In addition, any member of Brighton Five Deans u3a may contact the Group Leader and join an interest group provided there is free space.

If the Group is full

Please contact Tricia Shepherd or Marian Stanley to start a waiting list or be added to one. We'll let you know when a place becomes available or invite you to join a new group on the same interest.

New Groups

Do you have skills or interests in any of the following topics?

If you have a skill or interest to share, please contact Tricia to see what we can do to get a group up and running.
And if you'd like there to be group to cover a particular skill or interest, once again, Tricia is the person to contact.

We can help you set up a new group

Groups can be lead by several people working together.
It does not have to fall on just one person.
We can provide support in getting groups up and running.

We cannot guarantee to get every group going but we will give it a try.
