How can I become a member?
The u3a is open to anyone who has ceased full time employment and there is no lower age limit. The application form for 2026-27 will appear here in the next few weeks.

Need help?
If you have any questions , please make contact via email Membership or answerphone service on 01483 323285 leaving your name, address and telephone number as well as a short message.

How do I join groups?
Current members can apply to Group Leaders to join a group at any time, but acceptance depends on spaces being available. Group Leaders normally offer spaces on a first come first served basis and may keep a waiting list if the group is full.
The Groups Programme page (currently being updated for year 2026-27) provides a list of groups and further details of any one group can be seen by selecting it from the list. From here, you will be able to email the group leader by submitting a form. If you prefer to phone the group leader, then select the Group Leaders' contact details on the Documents page in the Members' Area (also being updated) to find their telephone number. You will need to enter your password for the latter. If you are unable to make contact in either way, then please call 01483 323503 and leave a message with your telephone number.
You can join any group and AS MANY AS YOU LIKE! And you can try one free ‘taster’ session.
