This year, in an attempt to make each club's lives easier, BE have changed their membership portal and now require all of their members, players or otherwise, to register themselves.

In a bid to make the process as smooth as possible before the season starts (just over 2 weeks away) the club urges all seniors to begin to start this process for themselves. Although the portal can register members quickly, it is advised that our players do so soon to avoid the disappointment of potentially not being registered early enough and potentially missing the first game of the season!

Attached is a copy of guidance from Basketball England about how to sign up as a member. There is however one significant change. You have already paid your sign up fee when signing up for the season with the club (part of the £35) so at step 5, you MUST click the option which reads 'my club/organisation pays' The club CA code is CA0834.

Once your account has been confirmed (this can take up to 24 hours) you must log back into your account and submit a headshot photo (instructions on how to do this are included in the document attached).

The club will confirm with you when your sign-up has been completed. You will recieve an email notification when the club has placed you into a team (1sts or 2nds).

The link for the membership portal is; https://membership.basketballengland.co.uk/

THIS IS ONLY RELEVANT FOR THE SENIOR SECTION OF THE CLUB.

As this is a new membership portal, there have been some minor hiccups with their server so please be patient. The club advises to run the portal through your Google Chrome browser.

We will be reiterating this at training and are always available to help if needed. Please contact Andy Thrower or Sam Fitzpatrick for any additional help or information you require.

Thanks,

The committee.
