Assistant Treasurer Call Out
Kate's tenure as treasurer will come to an end in March 2027, and as Tynedale u3a cannot operate without a Treasurer we feel it is time to put out the call for a volunteer.

If you are interested, please contact Kate Stephenson, email: tu3atra2@gmail.com

Using maps, drawings, paintings and old and modern photography, it offers a light-touch overview of history, myth, facts and future plans. It’s a light touch overview of the history, popular myth and some hard facts as well as thoughts for the Castle’s future.Originally built in its current form as a Royal Fortress, the whole Castle Garth area is a cross section of our country’s history: Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans and then the Victorian railway engineers, if only the Vikings had paid the city a visit…"
