The Triple Thread

We've recently had a query about how to handle life members and their membership renewals.

You can now create a membership category Organise > Membership > Form Setup specifically for life members. If you then select life members as such in their member profile Organise > Members  open a member's profile then open Club Roles & Age Categories you will see a switch for Life Member. 

Now, when a Life Member opens their membership form in their connectMyClub app or web app they will see any Life Member-specific membership categories. No other club members will see these life member-specific membership categories.

Life Members is also now a default communication category.

It has become apparent that some clubs leave the membership renewal process open all year, we think, to accommodate new joiners. This isn't how the feature was initially designed. As this seems to be the way in which some clubs use the renewal the feature, in the all new app (in development), there will be an option to show the membership form to new members and the membership renewal form too existing members during the membership renewal period.

The all new app is well into its development. We will let clubs know more later in the year when we're nearer to launching. The current intention is to remove the members portal from the website. Instead have a fully working browser version of the app to sit alongside the iOS and Android apps.
