What is a ‘Group’?
Seaham Harbour u3a is broken up into a number of different groups, we call these our “Interest Groups“; each group manages itself and is set up to do what our members want.
Our Members may join as many interest groups as they wish. These interest groups are formed and run by members themselves, for the members.
How do you join a group?
To join a group just see the group leader, however, non-members can speak to the appropriate leader about joining although to participate they should be a full member of Seaham Harbour u3a.
Do you want to start a group?
If you’re looking for something different that we don’t do or you have a particular skill you’d like to share; anyone can request a new interest group to form provided there are at least 2 people interested (and it is legal).
What does it cost to attend?
Groups are self funding so if the activity costs money, there may be a small charge, even if it’s just to cover refreshments.
These are our interest groups, listed below. To find out more about each group click on it’s name to be taken to the news section for that group.
Each group has a group leader, and deputy leader, to see who’s who just click here
Members may join as many interest groups as they wish. These interest groups are formed and run by members themselves. Non-members wanting to join an interest group can speak with the appropriate leader but should be a full member to participate. Anyone can request a new group to form provided there are at least 2 people interested (and it is legal). There may be a small charge for some clubs as these are self funding.
