For those courses/activities that have the comment Office Only, this means that the Leader wishes to check that new participants are appropriate for their course/activity and that enrolment is only available via the U3AA office, not online. Please contact the Leader in the first instance.
All courses/activities have their own waiting list (in date order of enrolment) and Leaders invite members to join as vacancies become available.
