'How-To Guide

Important Tips:

  • Don't try to log in with your email when registering for the first time. Instead, go to the blue registration link and start by confirming your identity for a Membership Account.
  • We need five details:
    1. membership number,
    2. forename,
    3. surname,
    4. postcode, and
    5. email.

Could you make sure they match our records?

Once you have confirmed your identity, you will be invited to set a password, so that you can log in with just your email address and your password, to confirm your identity.

When you are invited to register on the Members' Portal, the invitation email will contain the exact values that you need for these 5 fields.

After Registration

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure your membership number is correctly entered. Use your membership number, not the membership year.
  • Could you double-check that your forename is spelt correctly with a capital letter at the beginning?
  • Could you ensure your surname is spelt correctly with a capital letter?
  • Your postcode should be accurate, with a single space between the two sections (e.g., LE22 1XQ).
  • Confirm you've used the correct email address.

Tips for Success:

  • Type the information manually; avoid copying, pasting, or using auto-fill.
  • Check for extra spaces before or after your entries.
  • Leading and trailing spaces are considered invalid; be cautious when using mobile devices.
