Keeping in touch with our groups.
Painting for Pleasure
A new group has just started so if you are interested in taking up painting as a hobby or developing your existing skills have a look at their web page for further details.
Life Story group
A new group has recently been set up to help Matlock u3a members to write their own life story.
Everyone has different reasons for wanting to write their life story, and the group plans to learn from each other and benefit from each others’ ideas and input.
The group currently meets on the first Wednesday morning each month although the next meeting is on 17th January 2024.
If you are interested in joining the group or would like more information please contact David Gray at lifestory@matlockareau3a.org.uk

Our walks are on the 3rd Wednesday and the 2nd Saturday each month. The walks, between 3-5 miles, are not too challenging and are led by volunteers from within the group if interested please contact the co-ordinator Debbie Davis at shortwalks@matlockareau3a.org.uk

Lowry Salford Trip Wednesday 19 March 2025
The first Outing Group trip of the year will be by coach to The Lowry, Salford Quays on Wednesday 19th March 2025 with the option of a theatre visit to see “Pride and Prejudice (sort of…)” direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy. Salford Quays is a unique waterfront area offering lots of interesting things to see and do. Those not wanting to go to the theatre could book the coach only and visit any of the other attractions such as the LS Lowry permanent collection, or Media City, or the Imperial War Museum North.
