Thank you for visiting the Military History Subject Adviser’s Page.
I maintain a National Register of u3a Groups which are actively addressing the topic of Military History. The information kept in the register is essentially intended to facilitate interaction between groups and includes contact information for group leaders/conveners and topics recently covered. If you wish to contact a group leader/convener my policy is that I will forward your contact details to them so they can get in touch with you if they think that is appropriate.
Over sixty groups are currently included in the register but there are probably more than that amongst the many hundreds of u3as across the country. If you are currently leading a group or thinking about setting one up, please use the facilities on this page to contact me and I will add you to my register and distribution list. I can also let you know if there are other active groups not too far from you and will offer to send your details to them. They might be able to share speakers or presentation material with you.
I publish a monthly bulletin providing news relevant to Group Leaders/Conveners of Military History Groups. These include upcoming Zoom sessions provided by u3a members that might be of interest to individual members or groups. Please let me know if you are aware of items including recordings of such u3a sessions that I might include.
Finally, I should note that several of the existing groups undertake trips to militarily interesting venues including museums in the UK and battlefields abroad. Sometimes they are looking for extra people who might fill up their quota in a coach or a hotel. Thus even if you are not already in a group or in a position to form one, it is still worth registering your interest with me as it might be possible to offer you the opportunity of a place or places on a tour passing near to you.
Please do get in touch if you have an interest in Military History.
Regards
Mike
