Stockton-on-Tees u3ɑ
Stockton-on-Tees u3ɑ has over 300 members and has been in existence for more than 30 years. The aims of our u3ɑ are to advance the education and, to provide leisure and recreational activities for retired people resident in Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding area. We are a mutual self-help group with members using their skills and interests for the enlightenment of others or to further their own learning and recreation.
Activities
We have more than 30 Interest/Study groups which are very popular and are run by members. Please go to the Groups page for details and times of group activities. Prospective new group members MUST contact the Group Leader BEFORE attending a session, to ensure there are no changes to the venue or dates. We organise our own occasional events and outings, for which information is posted on the Events page.
Monthly Meeting
We meet on Tuesday afternoon of week 1 in our four week cycle for classes, except January and August. These optional meetings usually involve talks which are free to members and there is a chance to chat over a cup of tea or coffee. Please go to the Events page of this website for dates of meetings, details of the speakers and location of the meetings. No booking is necessary, just turn up.
