  • If they have opted into Gift Aid, they will also get a separate Gift Aid confirmation email

New Branch Member process and email flow

  • If the member is brand new to The Pony Club, and not subject to the transfer process, then the membership will be in “pending” status until the branch DC has approved it.

  • An email will be sent to the DC notifying them that a new member has been added to their Branch.
  • An email will be sent to the parent/guardian notifying them that their application is in progress.
  • Once the Branch DC approves the membership in Pelham, then the membership will be set to Active and an email will be sent to the parent/guarding confirming the membership, advising membership number and expiry date.
    NOTE: If a DC chooses NOT to approve this membership then the AR and office need to be notified ASAP to determine next steps, including finding an alternative branch and notifying the member.
