Family Memberships

NOV 2018

Many clubs and groups have a 'family membership' option (e.g. up to 2 adults + up to 3 children can all join at once). Typically they would handle this by creating a separate 'family membership' type with a join form on which members list everyone in the family and the family's details.

This works well, but having each 'family' be a single membership can make reporting, renewals, emailing certain types of members and gauging total number of members awkward.

So now you can create a 'linked membership' type:

It's similar to an ordinary membership type but you choose how many are allowed and of which membership types 

 

New (or existing) members, see it as a separate memebrship type:

 

But when they join they fill in a form for each member included.

They can also later edit their membership, and if there are spare slots (for example they have another child!) they can add those:

Renewals, expiries, emails and reports work as you would expect.
