New Member Application Form

This on-line application typically takes around 10 minutes to complete. The information you provide will form your book listing and your initial web listing. Please note that there are space constraints in the printed directory so the amount of text available for descriptions is limited. However, once your listing is on-line and you have your membership number and password, you can edit and expand your web listing to add more descriptive text about your home and the surrounding area to appeal to fellow members who may be interested in exchanging with you.

Please read the explanatory notes on the right hand side of the form for guidance on completing each section.

Photos Once your listing is on-line you will receive a membership number and password by email. With this will be instructions on how to load your photo(s) onto your listing. If you have any trouble, just let me know.

American Express Cardholders: Please note that the PayPal payment site converts payments to US$ before converting back to Sterling. Differences in exchange rates will result in a higher charge being debited from your account. We therefore recommend that you use a different card if possible.

If you are not a British resident or national, you should join in the country where you live. Please go to www.homelink.org to find your local office. If there is no office in the country where you live, then you are welcome to join here in the UK.
