PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS
We encourage you to come along and try out our U3A before you join. However, you can't be a prospective member for ever so you are limited to a maximum of two visits to either our Monthly Meetings or Coffee Mornings or to one of our Activity Groups. After this you must become a member in order to continue to take part in our activities.
WHAT DOES MEMBERSHIP COST?
- Membership is £10.00 and runs for twelve months from 1st April to 31st March the following year. However, if new members join in January, February or March, your subscriptions will last until a year the following March.
- Once you become a member you can join as many groups as you wish but each group may have their own individual charges to cover their costs such as room hire, equipment costs etc. The Convener of each group will give you these details when you join the group.
- If you are a member of another U3A then you are required to join Chepstow U3A as well but you will pay a reduced rate of £6.50 as you will already have paid the £3.50 fee to the Third Age Trust (to which all U3As must be a member) as part of your membership at your original U3A. When joining or renewing and paying the reduced membership, please tell us the name of your other U3A.
