Study groups are the heart of the U3A and the Aylesbury Vale U3A covers a wide range of subjects and interests as you will see form the list below. U3A members can be a member of any number of groups. Groups are operated autonomously by group leaders and their deputy. Each group is described in its own page below that shows the group objectives and meeting schedule etc. but for security purposes requests for further information and group vacancies should initially be made through our Study Group Coordinator on Groups@avu3a.org.uk

The title ‘Study Group’ is admittedly rather formal but many groups are far from formal and all try to be interesting and entertaining where appropriate. It should be noted that some groups have to impose a charge – for meeting rooms, transportation, resources etc. – but this is kept to a minimum and will be disclosed upon enquiry. If your area of interest is not covered here then perhaps you would consider starting a group of your own! Contact our group coordinator with your ideas.
