HOW THE SPIRE U3A OPERATES

The SPIRE U3A meets regularly on the second Monday of each month at Harnham Memorial Hall. This meeting is the main point of communication with the membership. It opens with coffee at around 10.15 am, followed by news of activities and a talk by an invited speaker. SPIRE U3A's own Newsletter, published every two months, is distributed at these meetings. Members pay an attendance fee of £1.50 at each meeting to help defray the cost of the hall hire, coffee etc.. Whenever possible groups meet in their own homes and members are asked to give their host/hostess 50p at each session to help meet any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Where it is necessary to hire accommodation the cost is shared between participants. This also applies when sharing a car for group activities. The annual subscription has been kept to just £10.00,which represents good value for money. If you wish to become a member please find the contact details of the Membership Secretary in the U3A folder in the Reference Library in Salisbury or contact her by telephone.
