For the memberships page on nzLARPS can we look at setting up form fields (like here: http://www.taupojoust.com/registrationMain.aspx
It should contain the following:
Please make the membership fee bank deposit as outlined above. Once you have done that please fill out the below form.
Name (free format)
Postal Address: (free format)
Phone number: (free format)
Mobile Number: (free format)
E-mail: (free format)
Current Occupation (required by law): (free format)
Are you aged over 18? (Yes/No)
Bank you made the membership fee deposit from: (free format)
Is this a renewal of a current membership? (No / Yes - Membership Number:)
Any larps you have recently attended: (free format)
Any other comments: (free format)
Why should we do this?
Well, when they click on the submit button a copy of the information is auto-emailed to secretary@nzlarps.org
That way the treasurer knows to check the bank account for the membership fee and then forward the email to the secretary sayiing ‘payment confirmed’ once it is. The secretaty can then process the membership pack.
I think its a tidier system and less open to errors or omissions of information by people joining. Additionally I’d like to avoid a repeat of the previous problem with new members joining and nobody knowing about them.
