Dear Member,

We are now nearly 5 months into using the self registration kiosk for competition entry and it is great to see how members have taken to the change in process. 

For any members who are still unsure on how to operate the check in system please ask one of the staff in the shop who will guide you through so you are able to use it confidently going forward.

Dear Member,
