Fastest fingers...

This lastest change in booking system of 50/50 walk-in and internet has made internet booking more important. Those of you who cannot be at the club to do the booking can try to book via internet.

I just want to share some internet booking tricks how to make sure you can get a slot.

1. Key into your calendar for a weekly reminder at 5.55pm to remind you. If you have access to internet, you can try.

2. Open a Word file or notepad. Type out your membership number. Then you block copy the whole number. This is to allow you to paste directly without typing in the booking page.

3. Do have a simple password (eg. AAAAAAAA). No point making it so complicated that it slows you down.

4. 10 secs before Friday 6pm, refresh the booking page. It should refresh just after 6pm. If you do it after 6pm, it might be too slow.

5. Once the weekend slots appear, paste your membership number (remember you have copied it earlier?) and key in your simple password and choose the day. Click "Book".

6. Quickly choose any slot that is available. Those later time slots will be easier to book, eg. 8.53 or 9.07. Kranji is also easier to book.

By using some of these tricks, you can save critical seconds that will allow you to get a slot. Some of you might know of other tricks, do share with us here.

I am looking foward to 100% internet booking. With so many members, I am sure our club can get at least 4 slots.

Actually you can save more precious seconds for subsequent entry by typing 'S' of your NRIC. Your NRIC no will appear click on it and the password will appear.
