Membership Renewal 2023
Membership renewal for 2023 is now due. The committee has agreed that the fee will be £12 per annum.
It would help the administration if renewals are done online using the Beacon membership system whenever possible. Payment can be made by debit or credit card using the Orpington u3a Paypal account (you do not need to have your own Paypal account and there is no additional cost to you). Almost 400 members chose this method last year.
Renewing your membership by PayPal is quick and easy and allows the automatic recording of your payments on our membership database (Beacon). This will save our Membership Secretary and Treasurer a considerable amount of work, so if you are able to pay this way that would be appreciated.
We understand that some members still prefer to pay by cheque and this facility is also available.
Whichever method you choose, your membership will be confirmed by email if you have provided an
email address, otherwise by post. There may be a delay in sending confirmations as these will be
processed in batches.
How to Renew by Paypal
If you wish to pay by Paypal click HERE to enter the Beacon Membership Database. You will need your membership number and your email address. Once you are in Beacon, please select the Update Personal Details option to ensure we hold the correct contact information for you (do not bother completing the security question, this feature is not used). Once that is confirmed, click on Members Portal to return to the menu then select the Renew Your Membership option and follow the instructions. If you have any problems please click HERE for further advice.
