New members are always welcome and the membership fee is £10 per year (renewable each January)..

Anyone not in full time employment, in the Third Age (usually over 50 but not necessarily) can join; all you need is interest and enthusiasm! It is called a university, but it has members not students. No qualifications are required and none are given.

U3A (University of the Third Age) is a learning co-operative of older people which enables members to share many educational, creative and leisure activities. Activities are organised mainly in small groups that meat regularly, often in each other’s homes. Members, through sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, learn from each other. Speakers are enjoyed on a variety of topics.

U3A has a self-help learning principle. Members form interest groups covering as wide a range of topics and activities as they desire; by the members, for the members. The U3A movement is supported by its national organisation, the Third Age Trust. For more information visit the national or local websites (above) or phone the Secretary
