How do I join?

The conditions of membership

There are very few conditions of membership. You need to be 40 or over, and no longer in full-time employment. It doesn’t matter whether you are retired or semi-retired. Nor do you need to be of pensionable age. Your “Third Age” begins when you say it begins.

And the only qualification you need is that you want to enjoy and make something of this period of your life!

Joining

1. Come to one of our general meetings, or contact the President or Membership Secretary
2. Collect and fill in an application form, or print off our printable application form (a PDF), and fill it in before you come to the meeting, and
3. Pay your first subscription.

Subscriptions

The subscription fee is €10 per person and will run from the day you join until 31 December of that year. Those who join for the first time between 1^st January and 31^st August will pay €10. Those who join for the first time between 1^st September and 31^st December will pay €5 for the remainder of the year.

From 1^st January 2022, subscriptions will be renewed on 1st January each year. There will be a re-joining fee of €5 for any renewals not paid by the end of March.

All group leaders shall have membership renewal forms and are asked to ensure that all in their group have up to date membership.
