Membership Management Instructions
Membership Management
The main difference from the website this year v. the one last year is that we now have online membership management. This enables members to pay their dues, register for events and maintain their own member profiles online.
The following is a quick guide to features, but feel free to contact Webmaster Ben Clifford if you have questions or problems:
Login. To use the member only areas of the site (the member directory, events registration, and member discussion forum), you must login. To login, you must use your email address and password.
Your login name is your email address. If you do not know what email address we have on file for you, please email Ben Clifford to check. If you are receiving emails from the club, then the email at which you receive them is your login email.
If you have logged in previously, then you have already set a password, otherwise you will need to set one. To set (or reset) your password, hit the Forgot Password link, and you can set a new password to associate with your email address. [If we do not have your email address on file, you will not be able to log in]. Please email Ben Clifford for help with this. If you want to enable other members of your family to get club emails, you can add additional addresses (see section below on your member profile).
What you can do when logged in:
- Maintain and update your member profile. When you login, you can update your member profile. Information that can be updated includes your telephone number, address, names of your children, and even a family photo and/or photo of you individually. You can also choose which of this information to share with the rest of the membership (note: none of this information is available to non-members).
The screencapture below shows an example of what you see when you go here: http://waylandswimandtennis.com/membership/update-membership-profile/ to update your profile. You can edit your profile (update your phone number, address, email address, etc.), you can add a photo album, you can set your privacy settings (to select what information you want to share with other members — your information is not shared beyond the club membership). You can also add a member by hitting the "Add Member" button. This will enable you to define another member of your household, which is useful if other family members want to receive club emails, access member-only areas of the site, register for events, upload photos, etc.
- Register for Events. Each "event" (or program) will have its own page. The drop-down menus at the top of the web page have separate sections for swimming (and beneath registration for swimming programs), tennis and KidZone. As there are other events or programs that have registration, these will be added to the menus. To register, go to the relevant page and login.
You will see a "Login to register" link at the bottom of the box on the left side of the screen. If you do not see this box, check if perhaps you need to scroll down to reach it. There could be two scroll bars on your screen – there could be one within the page (as you can see in the screencapture above, and there could also be one at the edge of your browser) — if needed, scroll down on whichever of these is necessary to enable you to reach the login link.
If you have not already registered for this event or program, once you login, you will see a new registration screen which you will need to fill in and submit in order to register. If you have already registered, you will see a button which will enable to start a new (additional) registration. You can also hit a separate button which enables you to review your existing registration.
After you fill out the registration form, if there is a charge for this registration, you will need to pay. You can pay online via PayPal (please note that you do not need to have a PayPal account to proceed with online payment, you can use PayPal without an account using your credit card), or you can pay "manually", the latter of which requires you to send in a check. If you opt for manual payment, please print out the registration confirmation you will receive so that we will be able to properly match your check to your registration. Note: there is no additional charge to you for using online payment.
- Pay your bills. If you did not pay online when you registered for an event, you can go here to pay online. Though our payments are handled by PayPal you do not need a PayPal account to pay online, and can use your credit card.
- Use discussion forum.
