Non-Committee Volunteers

We are also supported by a small army of volunteers that look after the tea and biscuits at our monthly meetings; our thanks to them.

You can contact any of the above by email using the Contact page.

Our constitution allows for up to 12 committee members. If you would like to help our u3a by becoming a committee member then please contact our Chair for more information.

Committee Meetings

The committee meets every month on the Wednesday of the week before the monthly meeting. The meeting is held at 3:15 pm and is usually held in the United Reform Church meeting room.

Any Tiptree u3a member is welcome to attend a meeting to observe or to present their ideas for developing our u3a to make it more fun, interesting and rewarding for members. Space is limited so please email our Committee Secretary to make arrangements.

Committee Responsibilities

Tiptree u3a is a charity and by law has to be registered with the Charity Commission. This means that all committee members are automatically trustees of the charity and jointly are legally responsible for the charity’s management and administration.

Committee members have attended a “Keeping it legal” training day where we were made even more aware of the importance of documenting the procedures and policies we must adopt to fulfil the legal responsibilities we owe to our members.

Our policies, procedures and all other published documents and forms can be viewed, printed and downloaded by clicking on the Documents page. These are:
