Wearside

WELCOME TO WEARSIDE U3A SITE

Some of you might be wondering about renewing your membership fees and the Committee would just like to ask you to hold back from paying at the present time We have discussed this issue but any decision or change needs putting to the membership when we have an AGM. If you paid the fees for 2020-2021 you will remain as a member until such time that any decision is made . We do hope that we will be able to hold an AGM in person in the future and hope that small groups will possibly be able to resume before then. This is all, however some way off and we need to wait to know what comes from the Government.
