Current Member - Members Portal - What is it?
Our Members Portal is an online system where we keep all members' records. Cottingham u3a has many members and there is a significant administrative workload for our volunteer Membership Team.
Therefore it is a great help if our current members have access to their own records and make their own updates whenever their home address or phone numbers change.
