2019 . AUGUST 14TH. B.E. MEMBERSHIP PORTAL UPDATE ( AND SEPARATE TML AFFILIATION )

Hi TML Affiliate,

Several of your TML Exec attended the Basketball England Membership Portal Workshop today at the Eagles Community Arena.

There were many things/errors etc discussed (such as the error of charging those Officials who have Multiple Licences for every Licence, when it should only be the most expensive one)

However, it became obvious that the Server supporting the system is creaking under the strain of volume.  B.E. have decided to upgrade it.

So, they have asked for a breathing space of 1 week to get a new one installed. They will advise us when they are ready to re-start. We will pass that news on to you when it happens.

From my own Club members, I know there are several different problems. e.g. Inability to pay fees, lockouts even after paying fees, incorrect charging of fees etc. They ask us to be patient until they can get the system to be more responsive. We cannot suggest a better alternative course of action at the moment.

**************************************************************************

Meanwhile at a TML level we are currently preparing draft fixtures which will be sent to your Club/Team Contacts soon.

We will also soon tell you when the TML Website has been re-set for you to Re-Affiliate for the New Season. YOU ALL HAVE TO DO THIS AS WELL AS DOING THE B.E MEMBERSHIP thing.

The TML Registration meeting will take place on Sept 11th (Venue to be announced). That is where you will need to pay your £60 TyneMet League TEAM fee for the new season (If you haven’t done that to Phil Dobson earlier)

The League will start on September 23rd, so there will still be time to get your B.E Membership, AND separately your TML Affiliation, before then.

 

On behalf of B.E……….        “Thanks for your patience”.

Keith Harrison. Publicity Officer.
