If you cannot access the forum or website it may be because you are using the wrong credentials.
Due to historic databases being used for the forum both the website and forum have to have totally separate membership systems. You need to be separately registered on both systems by the Membership Secretary.
Email memsec@009society.com giving them sufficient detail to be able to find your current valid membership of the Society and your login details will be emailed to you.
Please note that these access credentials are not interchangeable between the website and forum, just the one they were issued for.
