Membership of Olton and District u3a is open to everyone. The only entry requirement is that you are retired (or semi-retired) from full-time employment. While there are no age restrictions, most members are 50+.

The membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March, but new members can join at any time. Membership gives you access to the monthly Core meetings (booking required) and allows you to join our Interest Groups and to attend outings and other events.  The current annual membership fee is £15. 

You can also elect to receive a copy of the ‘Third Age Matters’ magazine, which is issued 5 times a year by the Third Age Trust.  It contains news about the u3a movement in general, and news about what other u3as have been doing – a great source of inspiration to group facilitators..

If you are interested in joining Olton and District u3a you are welcome to attend one of our monthly Core meetings as a visitor (a £2 visitor fee is charged).  You can find details of forthcoming meetings by clicking the Events link at the top of the page.  Or just send us an email – click on the Contact link at the top of this page.
