THE University of the Third Age (U3A), a national organisation which helps retired people develop their interests, is setting up in Stokesley.
An initial meeting will be held at Stokesley Masonic Hall, on June 16, then the U3A will meet each Wednesday afternoon at the town hall.
The first three dates are July 7, August 11 and September 8.
Although local groups work to a national concept, they are free to establish their own activities.
Events can cover anything from informal education, reading and drama to walking, sport and cooking.
Membership costs an annual fee of £10 and there are token charges for activities.
Stokesley Rotary Club has made a donation to help with formation costs.
For more information, call Alan Crosskill on (01642) 701202.
