Are you a member of another u3a?
If you are a member of another local u3a and your reason for joining Droitwich u3a is to attend just ONE of our interest groups, you can become a Reciprocal Member of Droitwich u3a. There is no charge associated with such a membership. To apply, download a hard copy of the Reciprocal Membership Form below and send the completed form to the Membership Secretary.

• Reciprocal Membership Form (.pdf)

Our Reciprocal Membership scheme applies to members of: Alcester u3a, Bromsgrove u3a, Evesham and District u3a, Malvern u3a, Pershore and District u3a, Redditch u3a, Worcester u3a and Wyre Forest and District u3a.

Reciprocal Membership does not apply if you wish to attend MORE THAN ONE of our interest groups or if you wish to attend the Monthly Meetings - in this case you must become a full member of Droitwich u3a and pay the membership fee. At present we do not offer Associate membership.

Please be aware ...
The Droitwich u3a Membership year runs from 1st April each year. We do not encourage you to join during March as new members have to initially pay £6 and then pay a further £10 to renew their membership from 1st April onwards. This is because we have some fixed costs associated with membership resulting in an expensive one-month membership for March. For this reason, the Membership Application Forms are removed from this web page during March, and we would encourage anyone wishing to join in March to wait until the start of the next full membership year in April. Please contact the Membership Secretary if this should cause any problems in relation to interest groups you are planning to join.

Finally ...
Please note that when applying for membership of Droitwich u3a you must agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions of Membership which are included on the Membership forms.
