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).
