Joining Ware u3a
Annual membership runs from January to December each year. See link to the right of this page for an application form. Please return the form with your payment (unless paying by BACS) to the Membership Secretary whose address is on the form. Please note that the form is not interactive and has to be printed and completed by hand. If you do not have access to a printer, send an email, including your name and address, to the Membership Secretary via the Contacts page of this website and a hard copy will be sent to you, or you can pick one up at a Monthly Meeting.
The fee of £12 per person includes the membership fee paid to our national organisation (the Third Age Trust), u3a Matters magazine published five times a year, access to our monthly meetings and interest groups (there may be a separate cost for these - see the Groups page for more information), a new members coffee morning, and a copy of our monthly newsletter. Any member paying income tax can Gift Aid their subscription to Ware u3a, thereby increasing its value by 25p in every pound.
Read our frequently asked questions to find out more about us.
New members will be invited by the New Members Coordinator to attend a coffee morning within three months of joining to help you settle in and answer any questions you may have. This is also an opportunity to meet a couple of the Committee Members.
When you receive your membership card, please ensure that you fill in your Emergency Contact number on the reverse and take it with you whenever you attend or partake in all u3a activities. You should be aware that you take part in any u3a activity at your own risk and it is your responsibility to decide if you are fit enough to do so.
u3a Matters
If you do not wish to receive the u3a Matters magazine, please let the Membership Secretary know by sending her a message and your name will be removed from the list. Please be aware that it may take a bit of time for your details to be removed from their mailing list.
