Subscription rate from 1st February 2022
The Committee has decided the subscription rate to £12 for an individual member for the next subscription year, 2022/2023. The subscription year runs from 1st May each year for 12 months. The base rate includes the online newsletter. If you prefer a printed newsletter rather than email, the cost is an additional £8 for the year.
The subscription is monitored and reviewed each year. The Committee decided the new rate in December 2021.
If you are already a member of another local u3a Group, but would like to join in with an Interest Group or other activity, there is a reduced rate of £6.00 for ‘Associate Membership’. Contact the y for details.
