Meetings / Visitors
Prospective members can attend two of the monthly General Meetings and one "taster" in each of two different interest group sessions without joining, so that you can find out more about us. There is no additional charge for visitors.
There is no general charge for group meetings. Each group charges appropriately to cover their running costs; there may be additional costs for specific events e.g. external visits, refreshments.. You may join as many or as few groups as you wish, but other than the one "taster session" you must be a member in order to avoid our breaching the conditions of our insurance.
Members of other u3as
Members of other u3as can attend monthly meetings as visitors, up to a maximum of two times. They are welcome to join one of our groups and be treated as our own members i.e. without paying visitor fees. However, those wanting to join more than one of our groups would be expected to take WAD membership.
