VCV 'Open Groups'
'Open Groups' means all VCV U3A members are welcome. However, please contact the organiser before joining in, just to check numbers are manageable.
Also, please consider that members:
- Are responsible for their own welfare and ensuring that they are physically able to take part in the activity.
- Should be suitably equipped as regards clothing, footwear or protective equipment according to the event.
Affiliated Groups
These are groups led by a paid tutor. VCV Insurance does not cover these groups as they operate outside of the U3A
