"Registration and renewals used to take hours and managing this now takes minutes only. I can sit with a Club Secretary the first time they use the online service and take a few minutes to explain how it works. They are then able to manage it all themselves.

The savings to clubs in terms of time and effort is immeasurable and the administrative burden on our staff has been reduced also."
