About Events

From time to time KMVU3A hold special events that are open to all members and sometimes non members eg Mid year or End of Year lunches.

Some of these will be available to book online (as below) making it easy to book your place.
When booking online you can choose to pay online with a secure credit / debit card or by direct deposit into our account. (Or sometimes to a tutor or admin who will deposit the money for you.)

How to book online:

The steps to book vary slightly depending on the page/ method you use to book - use the information below as a guide.

1. Click here to open the Current Events page. (It will open in a new tab - switch between pages to follow the instructions.)

If online booking is available the name of the event will be a link. Otherwise other ways to book will be shown.

Alternatively if online booking is available you can book online:

On the Classes & Events > Current Classes and Events page on this website
By using a link sent to you in an email
By logging into the Member Portal. Use this method if you don't have an email or access to your email at the time of booking.

On the Current Classes and Events tab, click Event name and skip to step 5 in the following instructions
See bottom of this page for more instructions on how to book in Member portal.

2. Look for and click on the name of the event you want to book. A new page will open.

3. In the page that opens, scroll down and Click Yes or No depending on if you are Member or Not.

Options:

If you click YES - you will be asked to enter the EMAIL address you have registered with KMVU3A
If you are not a member - Click NO - and fill in some brief details about yourself, including your email
In both cases an email will be sent to you to allow you to complete the booking.

4. Open the email sent to you and click - Click Here to Register. You will be taken back to the web to complete the booking.

5. Enter the required information under Your Details at the bottom of the page eg:
How many tickets you want to book
If you are only booking 1 ticket it will assume it is for you.
If you book 2 or more tickets, a line will appear letting you type in the names of WHO each ticket is for
Please type the first and surname of each person so we have an accurate record of attendees
Any information you want to let the organiser know about eg dietary requirements

6. Click on REGISTER

7. Select to pay by Credit Card or Direct Deposit.

You will be sent a confirmation email.
If you book and pay online by secure Credit Card you will be emailed a receipt straight away.
If your book online but select to pay offline you will be emailed confirmation and an invoice with details of the bank account and a REFERENCE. Please include the reference when you make a deposit so we know who a payment is for.
The email will also contain a link to pay online later if desired
You will be emailed a receipt from us when the money is received by the U3A Treasurer. (This will not be straight away if you deposit into our account or pay an admin / tutor - but it will happen!)

7. Enjoy the event!
