WHAT IS THE MEMBERS' PORTAL?

It provides limited access to the u3a Beacon Database. You will see this menu

It's where you can:

• See a list of VCV Groups. The Groups Tab on this site offers more detail and is more useful than this option. Group Leaders may still use Beacon to communicate with group members, of course. One action available to you here is the option to leave a Group if you wish.
• View and/or download a personal calendar, showing your group meetings and the U3A’s Monthly General Meetings. The Beacon Calendar is, in fact, superseded by the Events Tab on this site.
• Check and, if necessary, update your personal contact details. This includes: your address; home phone number; mobile telephone number; email address; and emergency contact information. You are asked to check your details whenever your information changes or at least once a year. Note that if you are a Joint member and change your address and/or home phone number, your partner's address and phone number will also be changed. If you do not want this to happen please email the Membership Secretary via the Contact Tab.
• Change your login password

The Portal also allows you to upload a photo. Members are asked NOT to use this option, as it may cause problems when membership cards are printed.

HOW TO LOG IN TO THE PORTAL

The Members Portal login is described fully by the Beacon User Guide.

If you are using this for the first time, you will need register using the link on the login form.

The e-mail address must be the one you submitted to the membership secretary when you joined/renewed your membership. The password is the one you created when you registered or changed your password. If you have registered but forgotten your password, you can request a password reset using the Forgotten Password button.
