Tynedale is one of the longest established u3as in the UK. We began life as Tynedale Leisure Learning way back in 1983 and last year celebrated our 40th birthday with an afternoon tea and the publication of the history of our first 40 years.
Monthly Meeting
On the first Tuesday of each month we have a main meeting with an invited guest speaker. These are held at Hexham Mart and are open to all members. There are more details on our Events page.
Groups
The activities of our more than 50 groups cover a broad spectrum of interests and we aim to enjoy ourselves and have fun while learning new things and passing on our own knowledge and enthusiasm. You are very welcome to "try before you buy" - come along to any of our meetings as our guest before you commit to joining but please contact the convenor first.
