Membership Renewal Instructions

Our new membership year commences on 1st October 2025. You should have received either an email or a letter inviting you to renew.

This is the easiest way for both you and us. Please Log In to our Beacon system using the Member Login button below and then follow the link for renewals. Joint members may include both subscriptions in a single payment.

1. If you wish to change your membership type (for instance by adding or deleting your TAM magazine subscription) then please email us beforehand to amend this. Unfortunately you are not able to change this yourself.

2. You will first need to create a password for this (a new U3A process, sorry!). Please click on the blue Member Login Button Below. Then follow the instructions to set a password to access the Beacon system and you’ll receive an email containing a link to log in. The attached instructions and screen-shots may be of help. If you are unsure of your membership number please email the membership Secretary by clicking on the Contact us button below.

3. Once you have created your password you will be returned to the Member Login page where you can enter your email address and new password in order to gain access to the Beacon system from where you can now check/update your personal details and renew your membership.

4. Please can you check all your personal data to ensure that they are up to date – in particular the Emergency Contact Information.

5. If you have not before, please read our Member Code of Conduct.

5. Follow the instructions through to making the payment where you will be transferred to the PayPal system, (you do not need a PayPal account – you can pay via debit or credit card if you wish by using the Guest option in PayPal). Once you have paid your subscription, you will receive a receipt from PayPal and a new membership card to print out and retain.

If you do not wish/are unable to renew online, please download the Membership Renewal Form to complete and send with a cheque. Please send completed form, cheque (payable to Bourton and District U3A) and a stamped self-addressed envelope (if you wish to receive a membership card) to the address on the form, or bring it to our Renewals morning in September.

If you have any queries about renewal or membership generally please send an email to Membership Secretary.

We’d love to see you again. Please download the renewal form using the link above and send it to us.
