I think that would save very many headaches for membership secretaries.  
the same, but different...

I didn't think of clubs, yes this would be easily possible and would only be minor alterations to a class version. (adding boat parking fees and water fees)

Yes paypal instant, as soon as the form is filled and the user is taken to paypal, they put their details in click go and its paid, and will confirm it instantly with the site it came from, so membership would be instant.

Some classes already do it: the Cherubs for instance ran an online shop which includes class membership...

I believe it is a good idea too. Surely if you pay online the funds are there almoust instantly anyway.

We pay for our club fees via cheque which is one reason I still have a cheque book. I would prefer to pay online then at least I can have a payment refrence too.

I think it would be a great idea - I would also extend it to club memberships, then I am sure it would be in demand.  At the moment clubs rely on cheques via snail mail, which I'm sure is why so many people forget to pay their subs on time.  I much prefer paying for stuff online because it saves so much faff.

You can already enter some races this way, why not club and class subs too?

Hi,

Before you say this is spam. Its not as this does not even exist yet. I could not think of somewhere to do a bit of research but then thought of here.

Basically I am thinking of writing an on-line application for handling class registration. The user will register and be able to pay on-line via paypal (so also credit/debit cards), so no cheques or anything would need be sent via post. It would also remind the user a week or so before membership runs out and with a click of a button they would be able to renew it.. My friend also suggested maybe a similar working function for registering for events.. This could possibly integrated into a class forum as well.

Would there be demand for this? And would classes pay for this, and if so what price? (I am not thinking anything high..).

Your help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

John
