Human Physiology - Are you interested in how the body works, and why it sometimes doesn’t? This group will explore how the body functions using an accessible, evidence-based approach. Each 2 hour session will include input from an expert speaker followed by group discussion, with members also invited to suggest future topics. Our first topic will be “What is Sleep?”, looking at the fascinating physiology behind this essential, yet sometimes troubling, part of life. Other topics will include: memory, learning, pain, emotion, movement, brain and nerve structure and many more!
Our first meeting will be 17th September, venue to be confirmed.
If you are interested please contact Stephen.

Textile and Things - Do you need help with a current project? Or inspiration for a new project? This group currently has a small number of members who have met at the Redcatch Community Garden in Knowle. We are looking for a venue between Knowle and Stockwood. Until we start to meet regularly, we aim to visit local exhibitions that focus on textile crafts, with an emphasis on sustainability.
If you are interested contact Heather, the Area Coordinator South of the River.

These are new groups which are in the pipeline but have not started to meet regularly yet.
They are just waiting for more members or perhaps some help in running them.
If you are interested and would like more information or to join one of these groups, use the links to message the relevant group leader .
If you have an idea for a new group, speak to your Area Coordinator. There may be many other u3a members with a similar interest. Lots of help is available to help you set up, advertise and run a group. Take a look at the Group Leaders page.
