At present the Hartlepool and District U3A has a number of informal and friendly Groups which vary in type and size, covering a wide range of hobbies and subjects. Groups meet on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, depending on the members needs.
Different venues are used by our groups please see Monthly Newsletter and this website for all details.
You can find out more by clicking below on any Group(s) that may be of interest to you.
New groups may be formed just by two or three members having a common interest.
It may be that you have an interest, hobby or pastime you would like to share. If you have any suggestions please leave a message on the Contacts Page or speak to the Groups Coordinator at the monthly meeting.
We look forward to hearing from you.
