Check their "terms of service" if you wish. It is the usual legalistic gobbledygook. The essential elements are that you must be over 13 to sign up, must not put anything illegal on your website, must respect copyrights and that if you cancel or the company folds then all your work is gone forever. Don't worry about that part. I have a cunning plan ... more later.

Type in a Username,  password and a valid email address.

I strongly suggest you tell the username and password to one or two other club members ... so that if you go to Australia for six months or just need help with updates - someone else can look after the club website.

When you have typed in the username, an extra box appears. This is known as a CAPTCHA system and is to make sure that you are a human being not a computer program. Type the letters, numbers and punctuation and click "Sign Up".

If at first you don't succeed: try, try, try again ...

NO!

Try once more - a different set of letters will be shown. If that does not work, click the little picture of a loudspeaker and listen to a distorted voice reading out letters and numbers and type them in. (Watch out for "zero" which can sound very odd.) CAPTCHA systems are a nuisance but they help keep down spam.
