How to renew your Kibworth & District u3a membership.

There are three ways that you can renew your annual membership and pay your subscription:

1. Renew and pay using our web portal using your credit or debit card (or your PayPal account if you have one). This is quick and easy, will immediately update your membership and you will receive instant confirmation that your renewal has been processed.

2. Renew and pay direct to the u3a bank account online. Unfortunately, you will not get an immediate confirmation of renewal. Also, this method requires the intervention of both your Treasurer and Membership Secretary that we would like to avoid.

3. Renew and pay by cheque. Payment by cheque (and cash) is discouraged as it can be difficult to match the payment to the members’ record. Also, the closure of bank branches has made this method of payment unduly challenging.

1. Renew and pay using our web portal

You do this by using our "Kibworth & District u3a members' portal" on the official and secure u3a external site called Beacon. There are two steps:

Step A. Registering

To use the "Kibworth & District u3a members' portal" each member must first be registered for a membership account. This registration needs to be done just once. You will need your membership number, which can be found on renewal emails we send to you.

To register: 

Click on this link in red: K&D u3a Members Portal 

Ignore the "Please identify yourself". Go further down the list and click on "Register for a membership account".

Insert your membership number and other information requested. 

Step B. Renewing your membership

Your annual renewal fee can be paid by:

     Clicking on this link in red K&D u3a Members Portal  

Entering your email address and the password you created when registering (Step A. above).

Press "confirm identity" from the "Select an Option box".

Select the: "Renew your membership"  option,

The payment system is run on our behalf by PayPal and you will see the PayPal logo on some of the payment screens.

If you are not a member of PayPal then make payment as a guest using your credit or debit card following the onscreen instructions. Whilst PayPal may offer you the opportunity to create a PayPal account there is absolutely no need to do so if you do not wish to.

If you are a member of PayPal, then PayPal will recognise your email address and enable you to pay using your PayPal account. (n.b. If you simply want to pay by Credit or Debit card then click on the guest option whenever it is displayed to you).
