Membership Area
Mudgee District U3A connects seniors from the same area as that of the Mid-Western
Regional Council. Consequently, it welcomes members from the towns of Mudgee,
Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos along with the villages of Hargraves, Windeyer,
Goolma, Ulan, Birriwa, Turrill, Wollar, Bylong, Lue, Ilford and Running Stream,
plus those from all the properties and homesteads in between.
Membership Fees are on a sliding scale:
Joining at Term 1: $25 Joining at Term 2: $20
Joining at Term 3: $15 Joining at Term 4: $10
Residents of Mudgee’s Aged Care Facilities are free unless they
attend classes outside their facility, then the fee is $10 per year.
Membership fees cover administration, postage costs and insurance.
Insurance is provided through Network NSW, the State's U3A "umbrella" organisation.
All new members receive a copy of the Constitution.
A quarterly newsletter is delivered to all members either by Australia
Post or email. The use of electronic mail is encouraged to help save
resources.
Class attendees must have enrolled prior to attending any classes.
There are no further tuition fees for most courses, but you may have
to provide your own materials or pay a small amount to help cover the
cost of hall hire, computer use, and for morning or afternoon tea as
appropriate.
Members receiving printed notes from their class Presenter will be asked
to contribute to the cost of copying. There is no charge for notes or
handouts delivered by email. Class members are under no obligation to
receive notes and may decline the offer of receiving them in either format.
There is
an expectation that class members will keep the Presenter informed
with any intended absences or complete withdrawals. Presenters' telephone
numbers are published in the Programme.
Becoming a Member
The official Enrolment Morning is in January.
This is a really good time to pay your subscription fee and enrol for
the classes of your choice. Most Class Presenters are available to discuss
needs and answer questions about the courses being offered. When you
pay your subscription you will be given an official receipt.
If enrolling by mail, send a completed enrolment form and membership fee
to the secretary at
PO Box 469, Mudgee, 2850.
Please enclose a stamped address for your receipt.
Cheques should be payable to “Mudgee District U3A”.
New members may enrol at any time of the year.
The running of classes is dependent on sufficient registrations to make
the class viable. You will be notified if the class has to be cancelled
or if you have been unsuccessful in gaining a place in a class.
