Who can join?
The U3A is open to all men and women who have ceased full time employment. The sole mind-set is a desire to learn for its own sake. ‘to Learn’ is interpreted in its widest meaning, from academia to physical activities or playing bridge. How to join?

An acknowledgement will be posted to you, together with your membership number, following which you will be free to contact any of the Study group leaders What does it cost? Annual membership fee for a single person is £30. For a couple living at the same address, the annual fee is £55. There is a small reduction for new members who are also members of another U3A. For those who are receiving either Income Support or Pension Credit, the annual fee is £5. What does the fee cover? Your fee covers you for attendance at any class, including talks by guest speakers.
