Facebook - Is it a Group or is it a Page?
We have both a Facebook Group and a Facebook Page, but many of you will probably ask why? What is the difference?
To learn more about how we use Facebook, check out our Wu3a Video Collection page and take a look at our new video, as shown at the February 2025 New Members meeting.
The Facebook GROUP is classified as 'Private' and is restricted to members of Wokingham u3a only.
The most important thing is that on clicking the JOIN button, you will need to enter your Wu3a membership number, so that we can verify and approve your application. This helps keep us secure from unwanted 'guests'!!
Once your application to join has been approved, you will be able to see and communicate with our Facebook GROUP members.
In the Facebook GROUP, you will find news, views, group activities, future events, and more.
- To join the Facebook GROUP, search in Facebook for Wokingham u3a members only.
Have your Wu3a membership number handy.
The Facebook PAGE, in contrast, is classified as 'Public' and its content is visible for the whole world to see. It is however, aimed at people who are local to Wokingham and the surrounding areas. Anyone can take a look, including our Wu3a members. Joining is not required.
We use our Facebook PAGE to promote interest in our u3a and to attract new members.
- To view the Facebook PAGE, search in Facebook for Wokingham u3a.
