Members' Section Rejuvenated

It's been a while since we've announced any major changes to the website, but today I'm glad to be able to tell you that the homepage for Members has been given a major facelift today. The new Member Hub gives you quick links to our key services, a rolling ticker of by-election updates, and a re-organized structure to make it easier for you to find the information you need.

branch membership list

Submitted by William Graham on Sun, 26/04/2009 - 18:00.

It's important for the branch membership secretary to be able to access new recruits' addresses where they have no email address, to issue a welcoming letter with meeting times, etc.

Can you confirm that you plan to allow for this in the new arrangemenet?

It is currently possible for

It is currently possible for you to do this by downloading the CSV of members in your branch and then using this for a mail merge. If you need more help with this process please get in touch with the Campaigns team at HQ

I find I connot access all the information I require on the MYsnp sight. Previously I had access to name, address, telephone numbers - now only half an email address or a telephone number

The decision was taken in the new data policy to restrict information given out about members to just that which is necessary to perform any given task.

For this reason you see telephone numbers only when calling, addresses only when sending letters (when you download a CSV), and email addresses are not show since the system allows you to send emails directly from within my.snp.org.

However we acknowledge that often Office Bearers need to validate the information about a single member, which would make it very useful to see all this information at once, and we are working on changes to facilitate this.

I have now been a member for some 18 weeks now, and only just received an email from my Branch, some two days ago for the forthcoming Edinburgh West Branch meeting tonight. Although I know this has been a busy period over the prevailing time, a proforma email would have gone a long way to welcome a new memebr into the 'local fold'.

Membership Expiry

Submitted by Elizabeth Young on Sun, 10/05/2009 - 18:21.

Is it possible to provide membership expiry dates to office bearers? Many of our members like to pay their membership money into our branch bank account and we then pay the money onto HQ once a year. However, since the introduction of the new system we no longer know when their memberships are due to expire and so we don't know when to pay the money over now! This is going to cause us a bit of a problem over the coming year therefore it would be great if this functionality could be reintroduced.

Thanks for this feedback, we

Thanks for this feedback, we have had the same request from a number of people and are now looking to provide this for people who do not pay by Direct Debit

I agree with William, there are some deficiencies in the new arrangements from the branch membership perspective. I haven't found any way of viewing members e-mail addresses in entirety, and its not obvious how we are to convey information to HQ when we know that member details are incorrect.

Since you can send emails

Submitted by David Donachie on Wed, 14/10/2009 - 12:12.

Since you can send emails from within the system you should not need to see the email addresses of members.

However we do take on board that at times you will want to verify the information there and inform HQ that they are incorrect, and we are working on a system to allow this.

Branch Membership

Submitted by roundturn on Fri, 29/05/2009 - 03:23.

roundturn I want to contact my local Branch around Loch Ness because I have some local issues. Also the names of Constituency officials ( Inverness) and maybe councillors.

I would have thought I could access this information from the Website but I can't get round it

Best regards

The names of your current

Submitted by David Donachie on Wed, 14/10/2009 - 12:15.

The names of your current Branch Office Bearers are available on my.snp.org. The names of your councillors can be found by putting your postcode in the "In your area" box on the right hand bar of this page.

However I do not believe the names of your constituency office bearers are currently available to you as a member, we will look into a way to provide this.

Changes to members email addresses

Submitted by John Bruce on Wed, 24/02/2010 - 13:58.

Following on from Malcolm Kerr's comment above, I have just spent several hours going through our current membership list to verify which members have changed email addresses. I have discovered that a number of members have new emails but forgot to notify the branch. Consequently they receive no branch news! Solutions please?

Changes to members email addresses

Hi John

Members can update their own details if they log in to my.snp.org and click on the Your Details link in the menu to the left of the screen. To log into my.snp.org members require their membership number and website password. my.snp.org can be accessed from the members hub.

Alternatively, if you have collated a list of changes you can send it to snphq@snp.org.
