This page provides guidance for Group Coordinators to help ensure that the information about your group on the Barnet u3a website and in the Beacon database is accurate and up-to-date. It also sets out how to submit an ‘advert’ in the Bu3a Weekly Update if you have vacancies for more members to your group.

Changes to a group:

You must inform Johanne if there are any changes to a group you run, e.g. if you have a new coordinator, changes to the date, time, frequency, venue of your group, new email address etc or if you have 6+ people on your waiting list.

Vacancies in your group:

If you would like to advertise for more members for your group in the Bu3a Weekly Update, please contact Johanne with the information. She will coordinate with the Weekly Update editor.

Setting up a new group:

If you are a Bu3a member and would like to set up a new interest group and advertise for members in the Bu3a Weekly Update, please contact Johanne in the first instance. Please review our Policies & Procedures when considering setting up a new group.

How to contact Johanne:

Please use Groups Coordinator.  Items to go in the Weekly Update should be sent to her no later than 12.30pm on the Thursday before the Update is sent out on Sunday morning.
