2025-2026 Renewals Info

Featured

Membership Renewals 2025/26.
We have been able to reduce this year’s subscription to £10.00
All members can find a copy of the 2025-2026 renewal form on our Admin page and we ask you to print the form if possible.  Copies will be available for those without printers.
Please note on this year’s form again we will simply require every member to complete part one which will be your full name, current membership number and method of paying.
The second part of the form should only be completed if any of the information – address, phone numbers, email address etc; we hold about you has changed. We will use this to update the data we already hold on Beacon (our membership operating system).
Ways to Pay
Payment at Groups 
During February a member of the Committee will meet with the larger groups and those groups who meet at least twice a month. Renewal forms will be handed out and then a repeat visit will be made for their collection. Payments can be made in cash or by cheque if you are paying through the group system.  Cheques should be made out to Maghull & Lydiate u3a. Card payments cannot be accepted.
Payment in person at Tuesday Morning
Starting on the 4th of March a team will be available in the Sanctuary at Maghull Baptist Church ready to collect your renewal fee.  Please bring your completed form with you; for those with no way of printing the form we will have copies available for you.
If you can’t make it on the 4th (and we rather hope not everyone will descend on us in one go) we will also be collecting subscriptions on the 11th,  18th and possible 25th of March.
Payment can be made in cash (£10.00 notes only),  by cheque (made out to Maghull and Lydiate u3a) or by bank card.  Please be aware that no matter how you pay you will still need to bring your completed form in to receive your new membership card.
 
Payment Online via Pay Pal
In addition, this year we will again be offering the opportunity of paying your renewal fee by Pay Pal which will save many of you from travelling to the Tuesday meeting.  A separate letter explaining how this will be done will be sent out by the Treasurer but be assured you will not be required to have your own Pay Pal account to use this service.
Thank you for your co-operation   Jane Jones

Flicks and Friends

Join us for a showing of ‘A Complete Unknown’ at the Plaza Cinema Crosby on the 28th January 2025. The story covers the life of the 19 year old Bob Dylan as he arrives in New York.

Doors open at 12:15 pm with the film starting at 13:00. Free for the over sixties but donations are always welcome.

Christmas Concert

On the 10th of December we held our end of year Christmas Concert.   We had a choir from Hudson Road Primary School start our show and their enthusiasm and rousing rendition of We Wish You A Merry Christmas made the perfect start to our morning.

Our six readers through prose and poetry gave us an insight into the way Christmas celebrations have changed over the years through classic and humorous works.

Aughton and Ormskirk Guitar Group then took to the stage and wowed us with a medley of songs that made us tap our toes and join in with great gusto.

We ended with a very energetic rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas followed by tea/coffee and a mince pie.

We were also able to hand over to Woodlands Hospice  the amazing sum of £615.00 – well done everyone.

Remember there are no more Tuesday Coffee Mornings until we re-open on the 7th of January 2025. Groups may well have different days for re-starting.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all .

 

 

 

Book Stall Request

At the Book Stall we are very grateful for all the books we receive but we would like to ask a favour.

Could you please ensure that the books we receive are clean and in reasonable condition?  A few of our books recently have been a little worse for wear and are a bit difficult to move in.  Thank you for your help.

Possible New Guitar Group

A few people have indicated an interest in attending a guitar group. The group  would be for basic and intermediate players.
If this is something that appeals to you please use the comments box to register your interest or put your name and contact number on the notice board in the church hall.
Once we have an idea of numbers we will be in touch.
