U3A cost do vary - I belong to three, annual charges vary between £8 and £20, and individual groups can be between zero and £20ish per quarter. The cost of individual groups depends on where they meet, a home or a hall (which has to be paid for). Regardless, the costs are quite low and very worthwhile.
I prefer to keep the groups i run small so that we can meet in homes and not have any extra costs, it is also more friendly with a small group.

Welcome to GN serena!
It's difficult to suggest a hobby to someone we don't know. Maybe you could tell us a bit about yourself and things you like. e.g. singing - then join a choir, or craft work - join a craft group, walking- join a ramblers group. I suppose I am saying that the best thing to do is go and join something with like-minded people.
It is important to keep your life interesting and not just focused on grandkids - even though they are probably the light of your life!
Hope that helps a bit! 
Hello serenaowens and welcome

Hello! 
I like this because, when my mind goes into free fall 
and suddenly something from way back occurs to me, there's usually someone here who knows exactly what I'm talking about.
