Our new membership system, Member Wizard, is on track to be ready for members on 9 July.
Our current membership system was frozen from Sunday 31 May. This will allow us to migrate all existing member records including enrolments from our current system, and to complete configuration of the new system.
Because the membership system is closed, you will not be able to login to view or enrol in classes, enter withdrawal requests, or enter apologies. Instead, these will need to be done at the U3A Reception Desk at the Hub, by filling in a form.
Welcome to the almost end of Term 2. In the Course Admin area, it has been very busy with making sure all your details are up-to-date before we move over to the new management system, Member Wizard.

Please read the article, Important Member Wizard Update, from Ken in this newsletter. It will help you to understand what you need to do for an easy transition to the new system.
