Clubs New App / Website
Another great update for members is that the Team App/Webpage is
now ready to go live! With much testing and trialling already completed
we believe it is now time to hand it over to Members to sign up and start
using. The new App/Webpage will provide you access to all activities
and events with notifications via e-mail and SMS. For your initial sign up
to the App/Webpage we suggest that you log on to your home computer
first as this is an easier process, the address is www.bdehcc.com and
follow the steps. At our meeting in March we will have Club Members
available to assist if you have having troubles.
