Membership for a year (April to March) is currently £10.  On top of this, members of groups pay shared costs of any facilities they might hire, e.g. meeting room, but this is usually no more than a few pounds a month.  Many groups have no additional costs but if you wish to check then please contact the group leader using the ‘Groups’ link in the menu.  Your £10 includes entry to our monthly main group meetings (usually ten a year) when we are given an entertaining talk by a variety of speakers (the meetings conclude with and include a cuppa and biscuit whilst you catch up and natter with friends), as well as five issues per year of the Third Age Matters magazine – so great value all round!

Renewal Details for Current Members

Renewals for the 2026-7 year are overdue. If you have not already renewed then you need to do so to continue to attend any meetings - both general meetings and group meetings.

If you wish to keep the same membership number please ensure you renew in good time; after 30 days, you will be shown as 'lapsed' and a new number will need to be allocated should you rejoin later.  Any questions please contact our Membership Secretary

Those renewing can do so using one of the following methods:

• By downloading a renewal form, and taking the completed form to one of our monthly meetings along with your fee (cash, cheque and card payments all accepted) where the membership secretary will be able to sort out for you.
• By post. Download a renewal form and post along with your cheque for £10 to the address given on the form - DO NOT SEND CASH. You must also enclose a self addressed stamped envelope for your membership card to be sent back. (Alternatively you can arrange to collect your card at one of the monthly meetings.)

New Members

If you wish to join our u3a then please download a Membership Application form, complete and return (please send with your cheque for £10.00 made payable to Leigh Estuary u3a) to our Membership Secretary; details are on the form.

The fee paid by any member joining between 1st January and end of March will cover membership for the following year i.e. it will expire at the end of March the year after you join so you get up to 15 months for the cost of 12 in your first year but only if joining late (between January and March) in the membership year.

If you have any questions over new membership then please message our Membership Secretary
