Welcome to U3AC, including all our new members!
The U3AC Bulletin is emailed out to members every Wednesday. It contains the latest news, courses and events.
As many of you already know, our Bridge Street building is currently undergoing major constructional work and is CLOSED TO ALL MEMBERS AND VISITORS over the Summer. You can continue to contact staff in the usual way, either by email or telephone – we are still available to help even though we are not in the premises! We hope you’ll be able to complete your application online but if not, please do call the Office on 01223 321587 during the office hours of 10am-2pm.
We’ll announce in the Bulletin when Bridge Street is re-open.
The 2025-26 Programme was sent to all members last week, if you haven’t received yours yet, please get in touch.
Once you have submitted your course choices these will show in your account as ‘pending allocation’. At this point you will be unable to amend these online, so please contact us here at the Office to make any amendments. We would prefer this by email so that we have a written record.
Allocation will take place in August. You will receive an allocation letter, newsletter and membership card in the post in late August/early September.

Thank you to everyone who has helped organise one of the many events which are part of the Summer Events Programme. There are over 30 events available. Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. You may initially request 3 events and places will be confirmed on application. If you request further events (up to a maximum of 6) you will be placed on a holding list and be contacted if the event still has places, about a week before the date.
A trip has been arranged on Thursday 9 October to this major exhibition featuring more than 350 exhibits charting the evolution of Cartier’s legacy of art, design and craftmanship since the turn of the 20th century.
