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. Creating the role of Assistant Treasurer will allow a gradual transfer of duties so that the Assistant Treasurer will be ready to assume the role of Treasurer at the next Annual General Meeting.
If you are interested, please contact Kate Stephenson, email: tu3atra2@gmail.com
True Crime If you are curious about true crime beyond the headlines, you may be interested in this event in Newcstle on Saturday 10 October 2026. See the Events page for more details.
Next monthly meeting is on Tuesday 3rd November: Bob Pullen will be speaking on Sleep and Dreams.
The Rural Digital Inclusion Project runs informal training sessions across Northumberland, and are looking for volunteers.
