New Groups
| New group suggestions, where our members can view, add suggestions and offer their help with a group or add their name to attend groups. |
We still have a request for leaders to run Italian, French 3, Calligraphy, exercise and simple dance classes. If you are interested in organising them, rather than physically teaching the members, please contact us.
How about joining one of our proposed new groups?
| French 3 for beginners | Calligraphy | |
| Holiday Groups | Fishing | |
| Nordic Walking | Collecting | |
| Exercise | Simple Dance | |
| Walking Sports ie-Football |

- Events-Days Out. We need a potential leader and people waiting to start this new class for simple days out. Only two members needed to get started, visit coffee shops, garden centres, Newcastle, Morpeth etc, even places by bus using your pass. Spring is coming shortly, start planning. Fortnightly or monthly walk in the footsteps of Vera!

Our four Whitlay Bay Tai Chi classes have over 80 members attending regularly, so it must be good.
A 5th of all our u3a members attend, but we are making more room for you to attend and improve your future health.
Our Tai Chi Simplified 24 is based on Martial Art – but slower and gentle flowing movements. There are 24 ‘bits’ joined by moving gently and walking ; often called meditation in movement, about 26 weeks ! - not Half Terms or Christmas or Easter ask Barbara for a taster.
It is found beneficial to attend more than one Tai Chi group, we have the groups on a
Monday
Wednesday (3 groups)
Friday
The more you attend the cheaper it will become. It is understood, that joining a class regularly is better than joining when you have a problem.
