Membership Fees
About our Membership Fees
- Our membership fees cover the running costs of our own u3a plus the Third Age Trust’s annual subscription of £4.00.
- No reduction is given to joint members (two members who live at the same address) or to members of other u3as.
- Members may opt to receive u3amatters, the national magazine of the u3a movement. u3a matters is posted direct to members’ home addresses five times a year. Postage costs £3.80 per year in addition to the annual membership fee. Joint members only receive, and pay for, one copy of u3a matters.
- Fees for both renewing and joining are reduced from 1st January each year.
- In addition to the annual fees shown below members may be required to pay additional charges to cover the running costs of their groups. For example, to cover meeting room hire, refreshments, specialist equipment, visit tickets etc. These charges are controlled by the groups themselves.
- We use Membership Classes to differentiate between Individual and Joint members and between those who do or don't opt to receive u3amatters. The tables below show the fees for each of our four classes.
