The following sections, along with details and instructions on the event page, will help you book an event. If you have any queries, feel free to contact us via the suggested methods on the event page.
Booking while logged on as a member
Booking for an event while logged on as a member is the quickest and easiest way to book an event as you do not need to retype details such as your name and email address. You just select how many spaces you wish to book and leave a comment with any details of event instructions requested or any comments you wish to provide to the event convenor such as the names of additional people if you are booking more than one person. See figure 1.
Then click the “Send your registration” button. The webpage will then confirm if your booking was successful.
