Happy Birthday to Us!
We celebrated our 10th Birthday in 2025 - and we made the newspapers >>>>>
Elgin & District u3a offers a variety of interest groups, each led by the members themselves. These groups range from music to study-based subjects such as languages, science or local history, & to more recreational topics, including walking, sports, dance and indoor games. They meet in members’ homes, or at a public venue, in which case the Group members share the hire costs. For a nominal annual fee, members may join as many groups as they wish.
Visit the Groups link to see our full group list.
