U3A Membership is restricted to those no longer engaged in full time gainful employment. Annual U3A Membership costs £15. Members then pay 50p for attendance at each session. Some classes have to charge more in order to cover additional overheads such as equipment hire or purchase and accommodation charges.
Refreshments are usually provided at a nominal cost.
Some courses are by arrangement with teaching and local authority organisations. These are separately charged. Some are at no extra cost.
