Contacting us:

If you would like to receive more information about the U3A, or talk to us about joining, please do any of the following:

  • Contact our chairman, VICE-CHAIRMAN or MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY (see committee details below). They will be pleased to tell you more about the U3A and will arrange to send you an information pack.

  • Come along as a visitor to one of our monthly general meetings, most of which are held at Chard Guildhall at 2pm on the third Monday of each month (except August when there is no meeting, and at Christmas and some other times when we hold a lunch gathering instead). You will be given a warm welcome and members of the committee will be pleased to talk to you. Details of the speakers at monthly meetings are given in our regular newsletter and we also usually publicise them in the Chard & Ilminster News.  (See also 'News & Events')

  • Talk to the group LEADER of the group or groups that you are interested in joining (click on 'Groups' option above). You are most welcome to attend two group meetings as a visitor before deciding whether to join.

  • Take a look at the national U3A website: www.u3A.org.uk. As well as giving more details of the U3A generally, the site also provides a complete list of U3As nationwide.

To join our U3A:

  • WHEN AND WHERE? You can join our U3A at any time of the year, either at a monthly meeting or by directly contacting our treasurer (see below).

  • HOW MUCH? Membership currently involves paying an annual subscription of £12, plus 50p for each group meeting and monthly general meeting attended (only 30p for meetings held in private houses). A reduced annual subscription applies if people join after the end of September. The financial year starts on 1st March.
