Join our U3A

JOINING INFORMATION

Thank you for your interest in joining our U3A! We have 70 interest groups holding regular meetings. The majority are in person, but a few are meeting either wholly or partially online. For more information, please follow the Groups tab. There is an alphabetical list of groups with contact details and venues on the page. All activities are also listed in a Prospectus which is available to members on the Members’ website page, and we also circulate regular email updates via a weekly news email. We strongly recommend that members have an email address as this allows our small, volunteer-led committee to get information to you in a cost and time-effective manner.

The Membership Fee for new members is £25.00 from 1st January 2024. The Membership year is from 1st May until 30th April but new memberships starting from 1st January 2024 will also include the 2024/2025 year and last until 30th April 2025.

How to Join

Please print a copy of the membership application form and complete and sign it. If you don't have a printer a copy of the form is available from Age Exchange in Blackheath or can be printed at most libraries.

Please post it back to the address on the form, or if you pay by bank transfer and are able to scan the form as a PDF document then you may prefer to email it to the membership secretary. Email: u3aselmem@gmail.com

Subscription benefits:

  • Participate in as many available U3A SEL activities as you wish, usually for no extra charge (except for some materials and some classes with tutors). It is possible that some popular classes may be at capacity and you may need to go on a waiting list for a short time.
  • Receive the email updates and the regular national magazine Third Age Matters.
  • Gain access to regional and national events, such as online events, Shared Learning Projects and the popular Summer Schools, occasionally for a modest additional fee.

If you would like to find out more about what we do in the U3A please contact Brenda at u3aselenquiry@gmail.com.

If you would like more information on how to join, please contact our Membership Secretary Richard Beck u3aselmem@gmail.com

We encourage payment of subscription fees by bank transfer, but you can also pay by cheque. On joining you will be sent a membership card with a membership number (which will need to be noted by any Group that you join), and a note of a password which you will need to access the Members’ pages.

We look forward to welcoming you!
