U3A Bedale
Hambleton
Richmondshire
The ethos of the u3a is member-led learning. We are a self-help organisation. u3a members are no longer in full-time work and they draw upon their own knowledge and experience to teach and learn from each other for pleasure. Bedale and District u3a offers settings in which members can meet with others by attending, supporting and helping to run current activities and creating new ones that meet their mutual interests.
We meet at Chantry Hall, Bedale, on the third Wednesday of every month from 10am until midday, when we chat over coffee, hear the latest news from the committee and then listen to our speaker.
Various groups have been started by members with a particular interest in an activity and they are run as a collaborative effort by the members. They facilitate opportunities for people to follow an interest, while having fun with other like-minded members.
