Ad Hoc Group

As arranged

Not really an Interest Goup in the strict sense, this is an "umbrella" group for the one-off events that are run from time to time.

There is no group membership - all members of Warley u3a are welcome to join in any of the planned activities.

Similarly, anyone is welcome to suggest or, even better, offer to run a one-off event.

Kate acts as a central contact for the group but does not organise all of the events.

Details of planned events can be found below
