Please be assured that this security breach has not affected the club website and your booking and membership details remain secure.

For the technically minded, the site is being hosted on a VPS provided by New Zealand owned company Rimu Hosting.

Please contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you find any issues with the site.

Online Booking Has Arrived

Online booking has finally arrived! (sort of)

3-4-2011 UPDATE: Online bookings have now been activated.

Where is it? If you login (link above and to the left, just under the Home button - if you see “My Account - Member List - Logout” then you’re already logged in - duoh!) and if you have asked the booking officer to link your website login to your online booking account, click on the Bookings button above (third along from the Home button), and a drop-down menu will appear; the first item on the menu is Online Bookings (click this).

Remember, you won’t see the Online Bookings link if you haven’t logged in.  Even if you log in, the system won’t know which account to show you if you haven’t previously asked the booking officer to link your website account with the online bookings account (hint, email or call the booking officer to arrange this now if you haven’t already).

What can you do online?  You can ....
