To access the Members Portal

Select Members from the top menu bar, then from the drop down list select Members Portal

A new tab or window will open, with a request that you identify yourself. (see image below)

If you have signed in before you can enter your email address and password.

If not, you will need to register for an account. Click on Register for a membership account

You will need to confirm your identity by entering your membership details.

These must be the details that you registered your membership with typed correctly with capitals and lower case as per below.

Type in your Membership number, Forename, Surname, Post Code and email address, then click Confirm Identity.

• If you can’t remember your membership number, it is shown on your Membership Card.
• Forename and Surname are case sensitive and have to be entered exactly the same as on your Membership Card (which is generally all lower case except the first letter in upper case). The Post Code and email fields are not case sensitive.
• Beware of using predictive text or ‘copy & paste’ to complete your name – it may insert a blank space after your name which will make the log-in fail.

If the details you are entering are not accepted it may mean the details recorded on your membership record are incorrect.  If you think this is the case please contact the Administrator, David Hamm, using the Contact Form.

When you are in the Members Portal, click on the blue text under “Select an option” to view or edit personal details, view groups, view the calendar and, if available, renew membership.
