Please - only join online if you have never previously been a member. If you are returning to the u3a you may be able to Renew rather than Join. Contact the Membership Secretary before you do anything.
If you join online we will assume that you have read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions of Membership and Privacy Statement. Together they define our expectations of you as a member and our, and your, responsibilities for handling members' personal data. For a step-by-step guide to the joining process see the Online Joining User Guide. It explains how to pay by debit/credit card or PayPal.
Some tips about the online application form and payment process
- For joint memberships, details of both members must be provided but only one person needs to complete the online form.
- Although it's optional, we do ask that you supply Emergency Contact information – just a name and phone number. We assume that you have the person's permission, as we will hold that data.
- Although the online payment process is managed by PayPal, you do NOT need to have or create a PayPal account if you complete your payment with a debit or credit card (see the screenshot).
- Once you have completed the online form and paid you should receive two emails. One from PayPal confirming your payment and another from us welcoming you to the u3a. Our email will have your membership card(s) attached. If you do not receive these two emails please do not try to join again. Instead, contact our Membership Secretary.
- The payment confirmation email from PayPal will invite you to create a PayPal account, but you can ignore this if you want to.
If you still require help, either contact the Membership Secretary or refer back to the Online Joining User Guide.
