Important news about eSites

This information is for current users of our eSite system. (If you're not sure what an eSite is, read this.) Over the next few weeks eSites will be affected by major changes to our IT systems. We have already stopped accepting requests for new eSites or turning on additional modules for existing eSites. This will continue until the spring. 

There will be a period of downtime for some eSite tools from Wednesday 19 February. eSite mass email and online membership/leavers/joiners lists will be unavailable from that date for a period of a few weeks. 

You and your current members will be able to log into the website and access your eSite content during the downtime; if you use the content modules you'll be able to create and edit pages, and upload documents. But members who join after 18 Feb won't be able to log into the website until the switch to our new membership system is complete, which will be in April.

We apologise for any inconvenience the downtime will cause you, but it is unavoidable while we transition to our new systems.

What happens next?

• The current mass email tool will be replaced by a new system in spring 2025. Full details (and training) will be available shortly.
• Membership/leavers/joiners stats and lists will be reinstated after a few weeks of downtime. In the meantime, if you need an up-to-date member list please contact [email protected]. Be aware that requests may take a little longer than usual to process during the period of downtime.
