Beacon
BEACON is an online management system developed by the National U3A specifically for local U3A’s.
We use Beacon to manage our Membership Records, and to send emails to members. We also keep our records of our financial transactions within the system.
==============================================
Beacon Groups and Beacon Calendar
Group Leaders or deputy Group Leaders are expected to use Beacon to manage their own group records, events, and finances.
RU3A Members, and members of the public can view the public version of the 'Group Lists' and 'Calendar' by clicking these links.
Once connected to the new page, click on any Groups, Trips or Events in the lists for additional information.
==============================================
Members Portal
RU3A members can see more detailed information and options by entering the 'Members Portal'. To gain access members will need to fill in the required details including their membership number. In 2023 the login method changed to a password system which members set themselves.
To do this, please enter all the old required details first and ensure that you use capital letters and spaces where you normally would such as in between the postcode e.g. NG15 9ZX and that you type your email address carefully! Once you have done that correctly, you will be asked to create a password. Thereafter you will only be asked for your email address and your password.
When logged in you have the option to see the following pages:
* Ravenshead U3A groups
* Calendar of meetings and events
* Update your personal details
The Members Portal gives members the ability to see and update the personal information that we hold securely on the system for membership purposes. If you change anything it will send you an email with the changes you have made.
