A big thank you
It is exactly a year since I introduced the new membership system. I explained at the time that it was necessary for me to do this because the old system didn’t handle choir accounts in a satisfactory manner.
The biggest impact of the change was on choirs. They had it very easy in the past, everyone sharing one Username and one Password. It has been a big change for them to forget the old ways and to get into the habit of the new. There were some problems to be sorted, but now that everyone is on the new system we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
With hindsight, it is fortuitous that this has happened, because one year on the site is now nearly ready for the new GPDR law coming into effect on 25 May 2018. The old system would not have been compliant.
So again I say many thanks for the choirs for coping with the change of system.

A bit geeky: I have today upgraded the Apache installation on my server, and also PHP to 7.1.15. There should be a significant increase in speed of access, searching, and changing pages.
Cheers,
