Teesdale u3a

See Calendar for dates of meetings.

The lunch group meets monthly and normally at around 12 noon. In the winter we tend to stay near or in Barnard Castle and in the summer we often venture out a bit further. We try to visit a different venue each time but will revisit the places that we love where we get great service and good food. Now and again we meet early evening as some venues do not open on Wednesday lunchtimes.

We tend to be a group of around 12 - 20 people and usually need to pre order our food a few days ahead so booking is essential.
