This morning I have already had to delete 32 bogus membership requests and request verification for 3 who probably are genuine.

Apologies if you have to wait to be accepted as a full member but we have seen other forums crash previously when they became flooded with spam.

Apologies also if yu apply and get deleted by mistake.
If your chosen usero name is of the format Johnqs74 and your email is an indecioherable combination of letters such as gnrtevbq@hotmail.com, rather than using the Register button, it will be better to email secretary@BarrettsWessex.org.uk.
