(Scroll down for the new member buttons.)

This new website based system allows you to edit your own personal information ("Profile") and us to limit access to some web pages to logged in members.

This system allows the Event Coordinators more flexibility on how to raise players by combining website event Apply For, email, WhatsApp and personal contact.  However to play in the event you have to Commit which is via a website page link provided by the coordinator and accessible only to logged in playing members.  This Commit page lets the Treasurer amongst others access who is signed up to play.

This system is being bedded in and if you are lucky enough to find a glitch can you proudly display it to us so your glitch remains unique.  A few things to note:

1. LOGIN USERNAME:  Your first email address becomes your permanent login username - you can subsequently change the email address but not this login username.
2. FIRST NAME (two fields): there is a Known As (e.g. Mike) for social and the "Hi Mike" in emails; also a Formal (e.g. Michael).  How you use these is up to you.
3. PROFILE:  After replying to confirm your email address you can login in and change your "Profile" for everything except Login Username.
4. PLAYER ID:  This will be added by us (e.g. XX99) to use this with "TOPUP" and no spaces as: TOPUPXX99 in the bank reference on payments so the Treasurer can correctly allocate the receipt.
5. scottishthistleshockeywebsite@gmail.com.   This address is used by the system and it is important to un-spam or white-list these emails otherwise, for example, you won't receive the password reset link.

Note: All membership applications are accepted as pending subject to an internal review and payment of the relevant membership fee.

Note: All memberships auto-renew until you tell us otherwise.

Note: Over EIGHTIES have their own button for membership.

This is the full bhoona - playing, socialising, enjoying and:

1. costs £30 per annum
2. allows you to "Apply For" and "Commit To" playing in events (click for more info on this)
3. includes basic playing insurance
4. entitles you to vote at the AGM
5. all other Full Playing Membership privileges (whatever they may be)

Click the FULL PLAYING Membership button, complete the details and it will take you to a page with further information including how to pay.

Notes for other playing memberships

1. LIFE MEMBERS should complete the Full Playing Membership and we shall change the level to "Life".
2. GUEST MEMBERS.  Do not complete Full Playing Membership unless you wish to join and pay the membership fee.  Instead use the link to the temporary Guest Membership provided by your event coordinator.

This is for all who are over 80 or turn 80 during the membership year and is a FULL PLAYING MEMBERSHIP as above but with the bargain price of NO MEMBERSHIP FEE.

Our aim is to encourage playing on in life and the zero membership fee is to remove a gonnae-cost-me-so-cannae-be-bothered barrier to getting involved.

Click the EIGHTIES Membership button, complete the details and it will take you to a page with further information.

Note:  Should you join via Full Playing Membership that is no problem and we shall adjust the category on the system.

Note: Should you join the Eighties and fail the age test then we shall adjust and it's twice round the pitch before every match.

This is for friends, pals, acquaintances and those who would like information on Thistles Events by email (opt out available).  It:

1. has a membership fee of £0 per annum.
2. allows you to "Apply For" events but not "Commit To" playing in the Event without a Full Playing Membership
3. does not include basic playing insurance
4. entitles you to notice of and attend the AGM but not to vote.

Click the ASSOCIATE Membership button, complete the details and it will take you to a page with further information

To upgrade to Full Membership an automated procedure will eventually be available but for now please email the Secretary.
