We have just been given the new electronic reporting computer and printer and had some teething problems with IT. We had to revert back to the old book system.
It is a swipe card system and you will require your membership card each weekend. If you forget and remember your card number there is a way around it.
Technology, unlike the TV commercial us old blokes just hate it, but we will work it out someway. Bring along the grandkids!
