Central and West Fife

Groups

We currently have a range of groups, listed below. This changes each session so check this site regularly for up-to-date information.

Try something new

Members, existing and prospective, are encouraged to come along and try some of the various group activities on offer. Trying something new can boost confidence and is an opportunity to meet new friends in a supportive environment.

Attendance at our activities is restricted to Fife u3a Members, but you are welcome to come along twice to see what we have to offer.

To comply with the Fife u3a Finance Policy, all interest groups are expected to be self–financing so there may be a modest fee for example if a venue has to be hired.

Want to know more?
If you’d like to join a group or get more information, please send a message to the Group Leader via the name or title on the Group's page.

Don’t see what you’re looking for?
If there’s a group which is not on offer here and you’d be interested in finding out about starting a group yourself or you have a skill that you’d like to share, please do get in touch with the Groups Coordinator

Group Leaders can get more information and details of Group Leaders' meeting here

Nowadays, "waiting lists" conjure up worrying images of the NHS and much needed treatments that we want NOW but we must try to be a patient patient!

With some groups in the u3a having restricted numbers for various reasons, like the size of the venue, or the optimum number for the subject covered by a group, in such cases other members interested in those groups are invited to put their names on a waiting list
However, unlike the NHS, u3a waiting lists should be viewed as a good thing - an opportunity.
Yet, it seems that instead they are viewed negatively and as a barrier not worth climbing over. 
Waiting lists with more names on the list are a good sign - a great indicator that u3a members are interested in exploring new subjects.
And, if there are sufficient names on a waiting list then perhaps new groups could be started. 
If this is something you would be interested in then please contact us,
There is nothing to prevent there being more than one group covering the same or similar subjects/activities

Online groups
Online Across Scotland groups are available online throughout Scotland. In May 2025 there were 12 groups or short courses including Archaeology, Qi Gong online and Bridge. These are available free to members of any u3a in Scotland.
