Members Portal

Every member of Wendover u3a can, if they so wish, register for their own account in Beacon via the members portal.

Having a member account will allow you to:-

  • View the personal data which Wendover u3a holds for you
  • Add any missing data, such as Emergency Contact details
  • Update your personal data for email, home address and/or telephone number changes
  • Amend any incorrect personal data
  • Renew your annual membership at renewal time

Registering a personal account in Beacon

In order for Beacon to recognise you and create an account you will need to provide some information via the portal

  • Membership number (just the numeric part e.g. 1234)
  • Forename (e.g. John)
  • Surname (e.g. Smith)
  • Postcode (e.g. HP22 3JT)
  • Email address (e.g. john.smith@gmail.com)

TIPS FOR LOGGING ONTO THE BEACON SYSTEM

If you get anything wrong, Beacon often doesn't tell you where your mistake is, or even acknowledge your attempt has failed. It just clears all the fields so it looks as though nothing has happened.

This can be frustrating, but unfortunately it's beyond our control.

Here are some tips to help you succeed:-

  • Your Membership Number can be found on your Wendover u3a membership card
  • Enter your Forename and Surname in their respective fields. They should be exactly the same as printed on your membership card. They are case sensitive, so don't forget to capitalise the first letter
  • The Postcode field must have a space in the appropriate place (e.g. HP25 3RD and not HP253RD)
  • The e-mail address must be a valid format (e.g. with '@' and '.') and match what you previously supplied
  • Your browser must also have JavaScript enabled (it is by default), but if you have disabled it, that will be a problem (see https://enable-javascript.com/)

In order to access the members portal please click on the following link and either register for an account, if you haven't done so already, or login with your email address and password.

Please note, for those members who have been provided with access to Beacon for administration purposes (Convenors, Committee etc), that the members portal is totally separate. This means that, if you have administrative credentials, these will not work with the members portal link and, likewise, your members portal credentials will not work with the Beacon administration link.

If registering for an account, once Beacon recognises you, you will be prompted to setup an email and password-based login and you won't need to repeat the membership details-based login described above. If you forget your password, you can click on the 'Forgotten Password' button and you will be sent a link to your email address to reset your password.

If you add or change any personal data please remember to click on the 'Update Personal Details' button to save the changes. You will receive an email from Beacon confirming that your record has been changed. Please note that Emergency contact details are never shown in the email even if you change them.
