How to join us
Please follow the link to our Membership page.
We are a small but friendly u3a, and our membership is growing. We now have just about 200 members. New Milton u3a was formed in 2011 to bring together a group of people seeking to make new friends, enjoy learning and sharing new skills and pastimes in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No previous knowledge is expected and learning is for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive.
An annual membership fee of £20 to New Milton u3a entitles you to:
| Attend monthly talk, free of charge | These are held on the 4th Thursday of each month (except August and December) at 2pm at New Milton Memorial Centre, Whitefield Road, New Milton BH25 6DE. We have a speaker, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to meet and chat with others. |
| Join any of our interest groups, provided there are spaces | We have more than 35 interest groups, ranging from Art Appreciation to Rummikub, MahJong to Creative Writing, Local History to Current Affairs and many more to choose from. A full list of our groups can be found on our Groups page. |
| Receive by post the national u3a Matters magazine (TAM) | 5 issues a year. |
| Access to the national u3a website | There is also a wider u3a community, led by our national umbrella organisation, the Third Age Trust. This offers a variety of activities such as events, workshops and learning opportunities that are open to you as a member of our local u3a. You can also sign up to receive a monthly newsletter by email which includes updates from other u3as and national activities. |
