Access to the Magazine data submission portal is restricted to pre-registered users.

The contact for your u3a will be sent a reminder 2 weeks before the submission deadline. We appreciate your support in submitting the data for your u3a as early as possible - so that we have time to help answer any queries.

April issue - 24 February to 10 March
June issue - 28 April to 12 May
September issue - 28 July to 11 August

Data can be submitted earlier than the submission window. You only need to make a new submission if the data has changed - the last submission will be saved to the MAMS system.
