u3a Sutton Bridge Members Only
Database Access for Members
If you are a u3a Sutton Bridge member, we encourage you to visit our Beacon database via the MEMBERS PORTAL. Why might you wish to do that? There are a number of good reasons.
1. To check and/or change your personal details
Once you have signed in (see how to do this below) click on 'Update your personal details', and you will be able to:
- check all the personal and contact details we hold for you, to make sure they are correct, and to change them if not,
- add a preferred or 'known as' name, so we can address you by that instead of your more formal first name,
- add the name and contact details of an emergency contact, so we can get in touch with them in the event of an emergency,
- upload your photograph
When you have finished making changes, remember to click the button "Update Personal Details" before you leave the page.
2. To look up information about u3a Sutton Bridge Interest Groups
Having first signed in (see how to do this below), click on 'Sutton Bridge U3A Groups' or 'Calendar of meetings and events', and you will be able to:
- see a complete list of Interest Groups, with details of Group Leaders, meetings, venues and maps.
- refer to a Calendar of Interest Group meetings and events, with entries in date order.
** Please note that the Calendar function has been suspended temporarily due to Covid-19 **.
How to sign in to Beacon via the Members' Portal
- Firstly, click on the link here: MEMBERS PORTAL
You will see a screen that looks like the one on the right (click on the image to enlarge it) but note that you can't edit this image, you will need to open the 'real' one via the link: MEMBERS PORTAL:
- Enter your u3a Sutton Bridge membership number
- Enter your Forename and Surname, as they appear on your Membership Card (these fields are case sensitive)
- Enter your postcode with the space in the middle (not case sensitive)
- Enter the email address you used when you became a Member
- Click the Confirm Identity button
You will then be presented with the following three options, which are outlined above:
1. 'Update your personal details'
2. 'Sutton Bridge U3A Groups'
3. 'Calendar of meetings and events'
** Please note that the Calendar function has been suspended temporarily due to Covid-19 **.
If you find you cannot sign in, double-check your details with the Membership Secretary.
More detailed instructions can be found on the Member's Portal training document. After viewing the training document you can return to the u3a Sutton Bridge website by pressing the 'back button'.
