This page shows contact details for Committee members, Group Leaders and any other person who may need to be contacted in connection with our u3a business.
Please use sedgefieldu3a@gmail.com to get in touch with our committee if you have a general enquiry, would like more information about any of the groups or how to attend a meeting, pass on any information or suggestion you would like to share, or even leave a compliment!
While we do not always check every day, we are fairly conscientious and will reply as soon as we possibly can.
Our committee currently consists of 10 members, 4 of whom are Officers - the Chair, the Vice-chair, the Treasurer , and the Secretary - plus two co-opted members including our Membership Secretary. Membership of the committee runs from AGM to AGM when a ballot may be held if we have more than 10 people nominated for position. Two further members may be co-opted onto the committee and we would really appreciate the interest of anyone who would like to do so. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more. We'd love to chat about what we do - it's not at all onerous or even overly time consuming!
Please contact any of the committee members to ask for information, discuss matters or put forward suggestions. We're available in a number of ways and are happy to talk at any mutually appropriate time.
The table below gives names and contact details for all the committee. For e-mail contact, please use the sedgefieldu3a@gmail.com address; tagging the appropriate contact in the Subject box ie. FAO : . . . .
