How to Join the Plymouth u3a
New Members are always Welcome to the Plymouth u3a. We offer a wide range subjects for each of our 70+ groups.
If you are thinking of joining why not come along to our monthly general meeting as a visitor, so that you can find out what Plymouth u3a has to offer. Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 10:00.
Please note that our membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March.
It is now very late in our membership year, the new membership year will start on 1 April 2024. For this reason we have now removed the facility to join online, but this will resume in April.
If you wish to find out more about joining us now, or in the future, please contact the membership secretary at membership@plymouthu3a.org.uk or come along to our next General Meeting on the second Monday of the month and chat to us.
Sample Membership
The Plymouth U3A membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March. We are pleased to be able to offer anyone who has never previously been a member of Plymouth u3a the opportunity to sample our organisation as a member for a reduced rate up until the start of our next membership year (April 1st) when a full year’s subscription will be required to continue membership.
The sample membership rate of £9 per person and is valid between 1st November to 31st March. If a person is able to provide details of membership to another branch of the u3a we can then offer a further discounted rate of £7.

Gift Aid
French Conversation Group
As you may know, because the u3a is a registered charity, we are able to make a claim for Gift Aid from HMRC for any member who is a taxpayer, which equates to 25% of their membership payment.
Because our only source of income is our membership fees, being able to claim this revenue makes a big difference to our finances.
Therefore, if you are a UK taxpayer and you have not already done so, please could we ask that you complete and return the Gift Aid Form to us. (HMRC now advise that this can be sent to us electronically [by email]).
Standing Order
You may wish to consider completing a Standing Order Mandate for future renewal of membership, although please bear in mind that the form will need to be re-completed and submitted each time there is a change in membership fees. Download the form: Standing Order Mandate Form.
Your new membership card will then be ready for your collection when you next visit us at the monthly meeting (2nd Monday of the month). Alternatively, you can send a stamped addressed envelope to our Membership Secretary, 45 Wilton Street, Millbridge, Plymouth PL1 5LX.
Should you have any further queries please feel free to send an email to our .
Alternatively, you can contact any of our committee members via the Contact Form.
