Wearside Groups
As well as attending the monthly meeting, members are encouraged to participate in and enjoy leisurely learning by joining one or more of the 27 groups. Each group has a leader/co-ordinator, who has an interest in, or may even have expertise in the group activity or topic. All learning is shared in a sociable, friendly atmosphere.
Until Setember 2023, The groups met at several venues eg. members' homes, the Sunderland Library or the Bangladeshi Centre where usually there is a £2 contribution towards refreshments/room hire or other expenses.
From October 2023, While BIC is being altered, meetings which were at BIC, have moved to other locations.
The first table below displays our current groups and meeting times. The second table shows the weekly arrangement of groups.
