wo steps to adding a member: Register for an account – remember that one account provides access to the MyPhotoClub network. They will receive an email on registering. Join the Members Group for your club – this is done by registering that they have paid their fees using the My Details page. They will receive an email on becoming a member. Both these steps are best done by the new member. Can I do this for them? -Yes, a committee member can register a person and then go into Committee > Membership and add them as a Member. Please note that they will still receive emails from the website as each stage is done. If you need a large number of members joined up, then we can load these as a batch. This is part of our start-up service.
