MEMBERSHIP AND MONTHLY MEETINGS

Membership is yearly starting in April.  The cost is £7.50 for full membership,   £2.50 of this price is the capitation fee which is sent to the U3A trust in London.  This capitation fee covers members
for such things as public liability insurance.
If a member of another U3A wishes to join the fee will only be £5 as the capitation fee will not need to be paid again.
If a member does not renew by July his /her name will be removed from the membership list.

The admission fee for the monthly U3A meeting is £1.00 including refreshments  (please pay with coins rather than notes).  There are also small admission charges to the Art Group, Craft Group, Current Affairs, Family History and Tai Chi Groups, to cover the costs of the meeting rooms.

The lecture list for the current year appears further down this page.
