Signing Up to Events

[Causeway_Legions]

As part of the new forum we have a really cool new calendar feature for signing up for troops!

But with all new things there can be some confusion so hopefully this short guide will be of use to some.

When you first come on the forum, the top section handily shows you the 3 next upcoming troops:

You can click on any of these to be brought to the event page and sign up, or you can scroll on down to find the link to see the entire calendar:

Clicking this link will open up the full calendar like so:

Here you can see all the troops for this month, you can browse forward to future months and you can scroll back to see previous months (for event reports and attendance history!)

Click any of the troops brings you to their page:

The main box in the middle/right should tell you all you need to know about the troop. Arrival time time, trooping time, address etc. (If you need more information or have questions please ask and the events team wil be happy to clarify). 

On the left is how you sign up, by clicking on ‘Trooping’ you sign up to the event:

 

And you’ll see your profile added to the list like so:

You Also have the option to click ‘Crew’ if you wish to indicate that you would like to Crew at the Event.

Below this section is the comments, you can reply to say which costumes you are planning to bring, you can also state if you have GA with you or ask any questions you might have etc.

After the event the GML or BMO will post up an attendance record, this helps them come census time and is nice for us members as well as a tracker of our troops.

Also after the event we can continue to post comments an give our event reports. Now not only is it a calendar for sign ups, its also a diary of our activity. The more event reports and experiences we document the more information our events team have for the future.

Any cleared member of 501st or RL can use the calendar to sign up. This includes international members who have properly completed their profiles.

New potential members who wish to come to events and crew are extremely welcome and we love having you. To sign up as crew please have a look at this thread and post to confirm. Once confirmed your profile is updated allowing you to sign up to events:
