Using Our Database

About Our Database

With close to 500 members it is no longer feasible to use a pen and paper system to provide services and allocate members to classes, so U3AMV operates using an online system. Members have access to their details on our database via their unique user ID and password. These can be used to re-join, enrol, update details, pay fees, see what classes are available and so on.
Member details are confidential and only you can access your personal record. Details are not shared with any other organisation or body (to see our Privacy Policy please click on the Policies and Constitution link)

Your Questions Answered

Membership expire each December and all members are sent an email detailing the steps to follow to join and enrol a few days prior to opening date. Course enrolment takes place at a later date and again an email detailing steps to follow is sent.

Member can access the database at any time. Steps for using the various functions are listed below.
