What is the online membership system?
The online membership system is now that way for the DBWS to manage its membership.
Why do I need to re-register?
Due to Data Protection regulations (GDPR) and Gift Aid declarations.
What if I don’t have an email address?
Does everyone in the family need to register?
Can I be a member of Main Society only?
What happens with ‘Head of Family?
If you check the ‘Head of Family’ box you will be listed in the address book. Only 1 person in any family group can be the head of family. If you want to have more than 1 person in a household as ‘Head of Family’ you will need to remove them and have them as a separate member entry.
i.e. Dadda, Dadima, Dad, Mum and 2 children in the house.
If Dadda is in address book and Dad (or mum) wants their name in the address book they would need to remove their name from the family and setup a new one. i.e. 1st family – Dadda & Dadima ; 2nd family – Dad, Mum, 2 children both with same address details.
Please be aware that only the ‘Head of Family’ can add family members.
What happens after I complete my registration?
Once you’ve signed up, added your address details and made your declarations (Data Protection, Gift Aid and Contact methods), you will receive email confirmation of your registration; you are not yet an approved member.
Your local committee will then approve your membership. Finally, once the Main Society management committee has ratified your membership you will then receive a second confirmation for you to complete the process. This involves logging into the system and clicking on ‘ACCEPT’ in your ‘Family Summary’ menu.
What happens if I have a problem?
What if I’m already a member?
What are the benefits of the membership system?
