We are keen to make the best possible use of the Beacon system which is currently serving us well for management of the membership database and Finance. The next step is to make increased use of its facilities for groups management – managing membership information, communications, publicising group activities on the web and recording financial transactions. Group Leaders are encouraged to look at the potential for using Beacon for their group. John Trimble is available to offer advice and encouragement and he has produced the attached guidance which gives an introduction to the system. John’s email address is johntrimble@outlook.com.
