Renewing your membership online is straightforward and uses the Beacon system (which is the u3a movement’s integrated membership and mailing system). You will be taken to their renewals page if you click the button at the bottom of the page.
RENEWING MEMBERSHIP
Clicking on the button at the foot of this page will take you to the Beacon Portal login page (opens in a new tab). You should be presented with the following simple steps below which will take you to the payment page, as long as you have previously registered for Beacon. Be mindful that the Beacon membership system is controlled by the National u3a movement and is unrelated to the operation of the Fairford and District u3a website so, if you have logins to both systems, be aware that your passwords and login details may well differ.
Step 1 – Enter your email
Enter the email address associated with your Beacon account and click on “Confirm Identity”
If your email is not recognised, you can try again and if still unsuccessful it may well be that you do not have an account on the Beacon Portal
Step 2 – Enter your password
Enter your password and click on “Confirm identity”
Step 3 – Renew membership
Choose the option to ‘Renew your membership’ and follow the instructions.
You will be asked about Gift Aid, and you can then continue to ‘Make Payment’
If you have any problems, please use the ‘Contacts’ menu or contact the Membership Secretary.
