EDITED - You will likely have received an Email / App notification of a news article that was published this afternoon by the club. Unfortunately, due to an issue with Pitchero's text editor code framework that they use, certain elements aren't available to us at present to include for e.g. images in 'Club' App News, but they present perfectly as intended in the Club Website's version of News articles.

Therefore, and until notified otherwise by Rob when the time arrives that it is then possible, can we ALL please view ALL Club News, whether on a Laptop, Desktop, Smartphone, Tablet, or Smart TV, via a Web Browser on those devices.
Simply visit and bookmark https://www.btmunited.co.uk/news This will guarantee the inclusion of any article content images, or working links, etc, just to make sure that you are receiving the full article content possible. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

To All Members,

Now that we have over 120 members, which includes Club Officers, Coaches, Team Admins, Covid Leads, Parents, and Players registered for the Club 'Website', 'Club' App, and 'Manager' App, we felt it a good time to put together this quick guide on how you are able to ever so simply list your child's 'Availability' for the next up-coming 'Training Session'. which you can find below.

*Please Note*
By doing either of the below two routes to marking your child's likely attendance, you enable Age Group Coaches, and their Team Admins / Covid Leads to be able to take a Digital 'Training Session' Attendance Register, through their 'Manager' App. This then is much quicker than writing details down on a paper version, it risking getting wet, or accidentally misplaced with the parent of players basic details on - neither of these risks we wish to see if we can ALL make full use of the BTM Website, Club, or Manager Apps.

Back to the quick guides. These are split into two distinct named sections, one for those registered and able to use the 'Club' app, and those who prefer/need to use the Club 'Website'.
