If you wish to join Ards Peninsula u3a, please download & print the membership form.
Page 2 is an optional Gift Aid form – as a recognised charity (Northern Ireland Charity Number: 108953), our members who are UK taxpayers may like to gift aid their membership fee.
Once you have completed the membership form and, if you have chosen, the gift aid form, please follow the return instructions. You can enclose a cheque or indicate if you are paying by bank transfer.
If you have any difficulty printing these forms, please email the Membership Secretary, Patrick Blackwell-Smyth: [email protected]
Membership Renewals
The 2025-26 membership year runs from 1st May 2025 until 30th April 2026 and costs £20.
We have stopped using ‘membership renewal forms’. There is no need for members to complete a form when renewing their annual membership.
The new annual fee is £20.
There are four ways to renew:
1. Send a cheque to our Post Box. The address is The membership Secretary, PO Box 39, Donaghadee, BT21 0ED.
2. By electronically transferring the money to:
Ards Peninsula u3a, Sort Code 20-51-08, account number 30635383. PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME IN AS THE REFERENCE. If we receive money with no, or a name like membership fee, we have no idea who it is from and have to spend a lot of time trying to track down who sent it.
3. By giving the money to a committee member.
4. By paying at a Monthly Meeting.
Renewal fees must be paid by the 19th of June 2025.
If you have any queries with the above, please email the Membership Secretary, Patrick Blackwell-Smyth: [email protected]
