Whickham and District U3A Groups
U3A groups are self-organising, and unless otherwise stated, meet on a regular basis where appropriate in members' own homes or in larger premises. They each have a Group Leader, who may or may not be an expert in the subject or activity, but who is willing to do some of the organisation.
Meetings may take place weekly/fortnightly or monthly, depending on the subject or activity and members' preferences. The groups which are currently running are listed below. Please click on a group name to find out more.
Due to these extraordinary times some Groups are meeting via Zoom. Sight and Sound, The Men's Group, Out n About and Humour (combined) and Genealogy. Please look at relevant pages re these Groups for contact details.

A History Group called 'Looking into the Past' taking place the 2nd Thursday of the month at 11am.
A Culture Group taking place on the 3rd Monday of the month at 1.30pm talking about books, films, newspaper articles.
Regional Creative Words- a creative writing group from members of various u3as around the Region. It takes place on the 4th Thursday of the month at 10.30 -12.30
