Small Gatherings
Local Groups
In addition to our public events, there are currently three local groups who meet up for talks, discussions, or just to socialise.
Secular Salon, Durham
This local group is run by Susan Walker. Contact her at 0191 384 1432 or [email protected] if you would like to attend events here.
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.
Sunday Breakfasts in Newcastle
Every two months we meet for a social breakfast at the Five Swans in Newcastle. At 10.15 am, when we gather, the pub is quiet. For less than £10 you can have anything from a slice of toast to a full English fry-up and unlimited tea or coffee. Humanism is not on the menu. There is no need to contact us beforehand, just turn up and look for our group on the ground floor. You will find details of the next meeting in our Monthly Bulletin.
The pub is at 14 St Mary's Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7PG, very convenient for car parks, the Metro and the Bus Station.

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.
