Do you need to publicise a u3a event or activity? Below are the deadlines for advertising by the various publicity methods.
Remember that you need to contact the editors separately for each of the various publications where you want your advert to appear. Sending to one editor does not mean that it will automatically appear in the others.
See the Contacts Page for links to the various Magazine, enews and facebook Editors and to the Web Team (for the Website and the Slideshow).
u3a Magazines
- The Autumn 2024 Magazine is now available in paper format during Horizons meetings or to download or read online via the Magazines page on this website.
- You are very welcome to send in any relevant items for the Winter Magazine (likely to be out in January) to the Magazine Editor from now on
We are running a wee bit low on paper copies of the Autumn Magazine. So if you have finished with yours, please don't throw it in the bin. In the interests of recycling and reuse, please hand it in to the Scout & Guide HQ during Horizons. (Or pop it in the pigeon holes in the Aughton Room when attending a meeting there.)
