Join or renew membership

Membership is open to those who are retired or semi-retired. There is no lower or upper age limit and you do not have to live within the Nottingham city boundary. Annual membership runs from April to March and the charge for 2025-2026 is £70. This can be paid in two equal instalments.

There is no additional charge to attend the majority of our meetings and activities and you can attend as many meetings as you like - there are no waiting lists. If you are a member of another u3a where you pay the full fee, our fee will be reduced by £4.00. New members joining after the start of the membership year may pay a reduced fee.
