    The study groups currently offered within Perth U3A are listed below.  Further details of each group's activities are available by clicking on the group name.  Contact details for each group are available via the Members only web page.

Perth U3A’s annual session begins in September and continues, apart from a break over Christmas and New Year, until the end of April. Some activities, including the wildlife and walking group, continue to meet occasionally over the summer months.

U3A members may join any group (subject to group-size limitations).

New study groups are formed as need and/or interest arise.  If you have any suggestions for new groups please contact the U3A secretary (details on the Committee web page).
