Are You Looking for a New Interest?

If so, why not come and join us at New Mills U3A

We are a friendly group interested in expanding our horizons and learning new things in an atmosphere of mutual support. Academic qualifications are not required either to join or to lead a group, just enthusiasm and curiosity. Many of our leaders are ordinary people who wish to pass on their knowledge and skills to others and at the same time learn more themselves.

We meet once every month on the third Tuesday in St Georges Parish Hall on Chruch Lane. If you wish to give us a try please contact the Chair Hazel Perry on 01663 741514 or Secretary Lyn Gurney on 01663 719389.
