Membership
Seaham Harbour u3a is a vibrant and warm group of people. We can be anything you want us to be and you may take from the group whatever you wish, in the way of participation. Of course, we would love it if you were able to give back in some way. We meet on the second Thursday of each month from 9.30am for a 10am start at the Masonic Hall, North Road, Seaham.
Our monthly meetings are well attended and enjoyed by all. We have a speaker every month with interesting and varied subjects. In the past, talks have included a chocolatier, who came with tasty chocolate samples; an historian telling us about secrets he found in an attic and more secrets from a talk about the human brain.
We have lots of Interest Groups but we are always delighted when members put forward ideas for running new groups.
As a guest you are welcome to attend two monthly meetings at the Masonic Hall, and participate in two interest groups meetings or outings. If you would like more information about Seaham Harbour u3a, please click here to see the latest articles on what our members have done.
We extend a warm welcome to all newcomers!
