Waterlooville U3A Board Games Group - First and Third Monday 14:00 - 16:00

We are a friendly group who meet twice a month to play a range of non-traditional (Modern) Board Games, which require a mix of tactics and strategy. Some are fairly straightforward - and then reveal hidden depths! - while others are more challenging from the start - and then we develop strategies and tactics!

In some games, the players compete against each other, in others they are a team competing against the game itself. Some have a board, some have no board (card-based games), and some build the board as the game is played (tile-laying games). One or two modify the board as the game progresses.

We have Table Leaders, more experienced members who guide the players in playing the games, so everyone can enjoy the range of games.

The aim of the Group is to have fun with friends.

This club offers a friendly non-competitive approach to keeping fit.

Little Kickers - Monday 9:15 - 10:00 & 10:00 - 10:45

#MoreThanJustFootball

Firstly, we believe in something we call “Play not Push”. It means teaching football in a fun, pressure-free environment. We want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.

Secondly, we believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team.

It’s an approach that has bagged us numerous awards and helped us expand globally over the last 16 years. And like all our Kickers, we never stop learning. We’re continually improving and updating our classes, based on feedback and input from child health specialists as well as our network of over 2,250 football coaches worldwide.
