Joining our u3a online
Our membership year runs from 1 September to 31 August each year. The fee for the 2024/25 year is just £34, but the fee for any new member who joins on or after 1 March 2025 is just £20 and membership will run through to the end of August 2025.
With the exceptions of excursions and a very small number of groups for which a small charge may be payable, this single payment allows you to attend our Monthly Meetings and join as many of our groups as you wish.
Our joining and payment of fees is done through an online process. This is fully automated and is simple and straightforward.
