Groups Notices
Gym Membership Trial
Is your New Year Resolution to GET FIT?
If you promised yourself that you would like to get fit in 2025, we have negotiated the opportunity for you to have a free three-day trial at The Nuffield Health gym in Chichester Gate. The trial would include the gym, the 20m pool, sauna and steam room. Many Chichester U3A members already visit there regularly so you may see some familiar faces when you go.
If you are interested please contact Brin Lewis via the Groups Team for further information.
Creative Writing
Would you like to be part of a new creative writing group? The Writing for Fun group has proved so popular that it now has a waiting list and, if enough members are interested, a new group seems to be called for. Contact us if you would like to join a group that will help you to get in touch with your creative side and get your ideas down on paper. If you would like to lead the new group, even better. Our current Writing for Fun group leader is happy to help with start-up advice.
If you are interested please let Alison know via the Groups Team.
Proposed Coach Trip to London
Would you like to join us on a coach trip to South Kensington on Thursday 13th March 2025?
You can visit the Science Museum or the Natural History Museum or shop at Harrods.
The cost of the trip is £30 pp and we need a minimum of 20 people to run this trip. The trip is being run by Westrings Coaches of Chichester. You can download their brochure at westringscoaches.co.uk.
If you are interested, please ring Malcolm on 01243 773177 to book your seat.
