Full Guide


First Step:

Create an account on the website

To start, please create an account on our Go-Membership platform.

Our membership system is linked with CANI, (The Canoe Association of NI, our National Governing Body) and the link below will register you with CANI and automatically link your new account with Erne Paddlers club,

https://cani.azolve.com/website/ErnePaddlers/Membership

Your email address will be preselected as your username (you can change it if you wish) and you will be prompted to set up a password. Don’t forget to make a note of these, however you can use the password recovery option if you need to.


---------------

Important note: 

“This email address already exists”

If you have ever been a member of Erne Paddlers, CANI or an affiliated club, or are on our mailing list you will already have an account. This may have been created for you by a club admin. If you try to create a new account with the same email address already registered you will get the error message above. 

In this case, please use the “Forgot Password” link to reset your password and login.

---------------


Now you can scroll down and click “Sign Up” at the bottom of the page.

The next page allows you to opt-in to CANI’s and Go-Membership’s email lists and accept CANI’s Privacy Notice.

After clicking “Accept and Continue” you will be taken to the “MY PROFILE” page where you can check and update your details and add more information about yourself.

Under the “My Clubs” Heading (top right) you should see an Erne Paddlers tile to show that your account is linked to this club.

If there is no EP club tile, you can click on “Select Club”, search for and add Erne Paddlers as one of your linked clubs there.

Once you are registered you can add more family members (spouse, children, etc) to your account and manage them all under one login. To do this, click “Add Family Member'' at the bottom of the left hand column, under “Create Family”

After registering you will receive two emails from CANI, a welcome email and one asking you to verify your email address and account. They might take a few minutes to come through. At present we are not able to send out a welcome email from EP to confirm that you have linked to our club.

Please note that you are not yet an Erne Paddlers or CANI member - but you have created an account on the system.



Second Step:

Join Erne Paddlers Club and Purchase a Membership

TL;DR:

After creating an account, go to the “MEMBERSHIP” tab, add both CANI Affiliate and Erne Paddlers memberships to your cart, fill in your details and checkout. Full instructions are included in the EP Membership forms.

Any problems, please come back and read the detailed instructions below.


Detailed Instructions:

Now you can join the club by purchasing a membership.

Before you add an Erne Paddlers membership, you must add a CANI ClubMember Affiliate Membership to the cart.

This is the fee that goes to CANI, providing you with a range of benefits (see Benefits section below), including third party insurance. CANI Membership (either; Full, Recreational, Life, Junior or Affiliate) is an essential requirement for all EP Club members. 

-------------

Coaches and Volunteers will need Full CANI membership to cover their coaching/volunteering insurance and this fee will be reimbursed by EP for active volunteers. Please see our guide on how to renew for Volunteers, Leaders and Coaches.

Once you have added CANI Affiliate Membership to your cart, you can then add your Erne Paddlers Membership.
