Emsworth & District

Groups

We have many groups covering a wide variety of subjects.  Some popular subjects are offered by several groups.  Groups meet mainly during the day in members' houses.

Joining a Group

The table below lists the names and dates of each group; click on the group name to find out more information about what the group does, and how to contact the Group Leader. If you would like to join a group please contact the Group Leader.

New Groups

We are always glad to help members form additional groups as their interests develop.  If you think there should be a group covering a subject not catered for or if an existing group is full, have you considered starting a new group?  We can help you find like-minded individuals and help you set it up.  Our Groups Coordinator (Jackie Treacher) can help with details of how to do it.

Groups in Havant u3a

Groups marked with an asterisk are run by Havant u3a but are open to Emsworth members.

We have an agreement with Havant u3a that we will share membership of any group that is willing, and has vacancies. So Havant members may apply to join Emsworth Groups, and Emsworth members may apply to join Havant groups. To apply to join a Havant group, go to the Havant Groups Page on the Havant u3a website and apply to the group leader in the usual way.

Details of how we organise collaboration with neighbouring u3as can be found in this collaboration guide.
