​Local  Groups

In addition to our public events, there are currently two local groups who meet up for talks, discussions, or just to socialise.

Teesside Humanist Group
If you would like to join this group, please contact us for more details. You can also follow them on Twitter @Teeshumanists or like the Teesside Humanists Facebook Group run by Terry Waites and Ben Collier.

Book Club
Our NEH book club members meet bi-monthly usually on the first Tuesday of the month, in Durham, at the ‘Duke of Wellington’ Inn at 7pm. We usually have a meal and a catch up then discuss the books.
We very much welcome new members.
For more information and /or to confirm you are coming, please contact Jan Mole. [email protected]

​See our monthly bulletins for reviews of recent books that have been discussed.

​Occasional Socials and visits
Traditionally, twice per year — in the summer and at Christmas — we try to organise large social activities in lieu of our monthly public events. In addition to those, we try to plan occasional outings  throughout the year as well. These can be breakfast meetups, museum outings, walks, online quizzes, seed exchanges, or anything else we (or you!) can think up. Be sure you sign up to our mailing list and watch our monthly bulletins for details on these as they are arranged.
