About this page
This page has information for Members about renewing their Membership, which expires on 31st March each year.
Membership renewal 2025
You must renew by 31st March 2025 to remain a Member and come to our u3a. With very few exceptions, all our activities are for Members only.
The Renewal sessions are not sessions for potential new Members to join, this is done at the Joining Sessions on (usually) the third Friday of each month, along with past Members who did not renew for 2024-25 or current who have not renewed for 2025-26, visit the Join Us page.
You renew Membership and receive Membership Cards (paper and/or ecard) using Bank transfer (BACS), cash or cheque payments by attendance with your current membership card at one of…
(a) January to March coffee morning sessions, the fourth Friday of the month, 10.15 – 11.45 a.m.
(b) One of two brief Monday morning sessions 11.30 to noon on 10th of February or 10th March for those few Members unable to make a Friday.
Note - The usual £1 KCC entrance to cover extra room hire for renewals applies to (a) and (b) above but is under review.
Paying by Bank transfer
Our bank details have not changed from last year:
Sort code 30-99-50
Account no 70741868
Reference Membership number & SURNAME eg 1234SMITH – for couples add your partner’s membership number
Important Note: This year we are not sending out confirmation of BACS payment because on Renewal Days we have direct access to the bank and bank statement and can ratify that payment has been made, raise your new membership card, note any changes to personal details, review your requirements of the u3amatters magazine and electronic membership card without you having to provide evidence. Only in exceptional circumstances and by prior contact with the Membership Secretary are we dealing with any postal renewals.
Paying by cheque
Make your cheque payable to: Kingswinford & District U3A
“Kingswinford U3A” will not be accepted by the Bank.
Membership fee is £15 per member. We do not have Associate Membership with any other u3a, so, sorry, no discount
A reminder to renew (in early January) was sent out on email or by post to those Members not on email.
If you have any questions, please contact Membership Secretary or by text only message to 07790 935743
Renew by 31st March 2025 please
