Want to "Try before you Buy"?
Not sure about committing to an annual membership just yet? Then use our "Taster" option. Contact the Group Leader of any of our groups and ask if you may attend for a "Taster Session". You may attend 2 Taster Sessions and then you must decide if you wish to join the u3a or not. You can find our full list of Groups and how to contact their leader on our Groups Page. Please note that only 2 tasters are allowed per person, not 2 for every group. You cannot return to a group after you've used your taster sessions without being a member of the u3a.
Please be aware that some groups may not have availability and there may be a small attendance fee. The Group Leader will give you this information.
Alternatively, you can use one of your Taster Sessions to attend a monthly Network Meeting
You need to complete a Taster Application Form and take this to your first session/meeting. This will cover your attendance for insurance purposes. If you have been unable to print this form, let your Group Leader know and they will do this for you. Introduce yourself to our Membership Secretary at a monthly network meeting and they can also provide you with a form.
