There are two forms for contacting the club directly from the website. The Contact form allows a member of the public to get in touch with the club, while the Mentoring form is for members only.

Saving information entered in the form

If you enable this setting, the system stores the person's details in a group, which saves having to add them manually later on.

If the person leaving the message has not clicked the "opt in" box on the contact form, their details won't be recorded.
