WHITLEY BAY U3A NOTICE BOARD

Updated 12/08/2008

NOTICES

Apologies to Ann Wilson and Mary Grice, Co-opted members of the Committee, for interchanging their names in one or two places.

Membership A waiting list was started for new members in January 2008. Due to fire regulations it is necessary to restrict the numbers attending General Meetings to 120. In view of the large number of attendees it is unfortunately necessary to restrict visitors to attendance to just 1 introductory meeting when space is available. They must then go onto the waiting list.

Contact If you want to know more about the Whitley Bay U3A come to one of the General Meetings at the Cullercoats Methodist Church on the third Wednesday of the month at 2pm, announce yourself as a visitor and ask any one of the Committee Members in attendance for information.

Group leaders may be contacted at the General Meetings, or see the e-mail contact on the Information page.
