Our Monthly Meetings and Events are always Welcoming, Social and Educational
This page presents details of three types of events organised especially for members of Newcastle u3a:
BRUNSWICK HALL MONTHLY MEETING: Our main monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month at Brunswick Hall, just off Northumberland Street in the City Centre.
Please note: Our usual timetable is being set aside for December to make way for our fantastic annual Christmas Party!
The party promises to be a great opportunity for you to celebrate the festive season with your u3a friends - with all the entertainment being provided by our talented u3a members. Christmas sandwiches and delicacies are also being provided - and all for just £5!
Doors open, as usual, at 1:15pm, with the party coming to an end at around 3:30pm.
Entry is by ticket only and places are selling fast. Please book early to avoid disappointment by sending an email to Jane Anderson at Business Secretary (email contact). Ticket money will be taken on the door for anyone who has not already paid in advance.
