Membership Renewal

Your Chichester U3A membership is due for renewal by September 1st each year. Currently, the fee is £18 per member, or at a reduced rate of £14.50 for those who have paid the full membership fee at another U3A (Associate Membership).

First Update Your Details

If any of your personal details (email, telephone number or address) have changed recently you can update them online by clicking here, alternatively, inform the Membership Secretary of any changes. Please do this before making your payment.

If you wish to update your preferences for Gift Aid, The Newsletter, Bulletin, and/or Third Age Matters Magazine please visit the Membership Preferences page before making your payment.

If your Membership type is changing between Joint and Individual, or Full and Associate, please contact the Membership Secretary and only make your payment once we have confirmed the change.

How to Pay

You will need your membership number – it will be on the Renewal email/letter, and is now shown at the top of the weekly Bulletin emails.

If you currently pay by Standing Order you will either need to change both the amount and reference (see below), or cancel the standing order and use online payment or bank transfer.

Pay Online

The easiest way to pay is online using Paypal or Credit/Debit card. You need to log in to the U3A Beacon System: Simply click here to pay online.
Note:

  1. This is only possible if we have your email address registered
  2. If payment is not due there will be no payment option
  3. Please note that if, on pressing the Confirm Identity button, the data fields are immediately emptied, it means your typed entries do not agree with those recorded in the Beacon database. Please check them carefully and try again. If you are still denied entry please contact the membership team to resolve the problem.

Third Age Matters Magazine

Through our affiliation to the Third Age Trust, the ‘Third Age Matters’ magazine is sent out 5 times a year to all members who have requested it. We know that many members enjoy reading the magazine, but others send it rapidly towards the recycling bin. While we hope you will maximise the benefits you gain from membership, we don’t want to waste either money or paper unnecessarily. If you would like to either add or remove your name to the ‘Third Age Matters’ subscription list please visit the member’s preferences page.

We currently do not have the card with the programme of Monthly Talks and information about the SUN Study Days for this year due, to the Covid-19 disruption.

On behalf of the Committee we hope you are enjoying your membership of Chichester U3A and that you will continue to support our groups, activities and events. We are always looking for more volunteers to help organise new groups and events.
