The u3a Snooker Group started 3 years ago.

A member contacted the membership through our Bulletin to ask if anyone was interested in playing Snooker on a regular basis. I and others responded and so the u3a Snooker Group was formed, meeting once a week between 10:00 – 12:00 at the Galtres.

After a while the original member, who had instigated the group, had to stand down so I took over the running.

As the Galtres has only one Snooker table and the current group is fully booked, anyone wishing to play under the u3a umbrella can set up their own group on a different day and time, when the table is not being used, with help from me.

This is the beauty of the u3a - that you can join any existing group and enjoy the interesting Monthly Speaker Meetings and also, if there is not a group doing what you are passionate about, you can start your own group with help.

The u3a is a vibrant organisation run by its members, for its members, and we are always pleased to welcome new members.
