Membership
We hold two regular monthly meetings at St Teresa’s Club where prospective members may
join and existing members meet friends, talk to group leaders and buy tickets for events. The
Coffee Morning is held on the first Thursday of each month; the Speaker Meeting is held on
the third Tuesday of each month. Both meetings start at 9.45am.
Once you become a member you can get in touch with the leader of any group you are
interested in joining and arrange your first session. If you find that a group you’d like to join is
full, please let us know.
The membership fee is £12.50 per person for 12 months from April to March. If you join
after 1 st January, the membership fee for the remaining three months is £7.50. If you are a
member of another u3a the fee is £9 and £6 respectively. In addition to the membership fee
most groups make a small charge, per session, to cover expenses such as rent. If you would
prefer to attend a group session before joining, please get in touch by email, we will then
send you 2 Taster Cards which will enable you to attend 2 groups free of charge. (This does
not include attendance at the Speaker Meeting or on trips/ outings).

U3A can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift – at no extra cost to you. Please also read the Gift Aid information sheet.
