Group Leaders

The volunteer members who step up to organise a group are the beating heart of our Bolton u3a community. 

Here's all the info you need to help run your group if you're already a group leader. If you're thinking of setting up a new group, we hope this page will help and encourage you.

Lovely photos! 

Nothing tells the world about your group as easily as a great photo.

Just check in advance that everyone's happy with their photo possibly being used on our website or Facebook page

Group basics

  • If you change any of your personal contact details let our Beacon Admins know
  • Keep a register of who attends your groups
  • Keep tabs on your group income. Pay in to the treasurer every quarter at the very least
  • If your group cashflow gets to £100 please pay it in anyway
