Online Application for Joining or Renewing Poole u3a 2023-24


We recommend that you submit your membership application online, as this will be quicker, avoid postal delays and save you the cost of postage. We are using a new database system to record memberships and allocate classes this Summer. When you apply online, your details will go directly onto the database.

Please note that because of the pressure on class spaces, members can only join a maximum of two classes in any one subject or activity. This means 2 Table Tennis or 2 Bridge or 2 French or 2 Art/Craft, but not different classes. If you
are in two French classes you could still belong to an Italian class.

Please read the important instructions below and then go to the application form by clicking this button:



Poole u3a Registration 2023-24

Please have your u3a Membership number handy before starting this process – it is of the form E1234.
Please follow these instructions carefully. Do not select any buttons that are not in the instructions.
For reasons beyond our control this process is not as ‘polished` as we would have wished but, if you follow the instructions, it does work. You can use whichever browser you prefer (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc) - However, we would advise you NOT to use Firefox as there seems to be a problem when using it with the registration process.

If you have problems, you can contact Julia Palmer (Online Membership), Tel: 07407 761382, email: [email protected]
