Membership

Our membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March. To join you pay £15 a year but if you are already a member of another u3a, you pay £11 per year to join us as you have already paid your £4 affiliation fee to the other u3a.

We have a quarterly online magazine called the Buzz issued in June, September, December and March.

There is a national u3a magazine called Third Age Matters, which costs £4 per year for five issues.  You can subscribe to this when you join.

Indoor Groups request a £1.50 donation per meeting to offset a portion of room hire charges and some sporting groups have addition charges for venue hire
