Welcome to the Leominster Sportsmen's Association !

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Resetting your Member password

Recently several members have had problems with resetting their member passwords.

The “problem” most of the time is that they haven’t used the whole password that is returned from the system.

The temporary password will be a combination of letters and numbers. They are case sensitive so be sure to type them in exactly as shown in the email that the system sends you. Every time you reset the password, you must use the new one that the system sends you.

Don’t forget to change the password once you log in.

Also, when you log into your account you will also see your membership card if your account is paid up to date. You may also print this card if you want to laminate it. If you want it down to wallet size, you will have to try different size settings until you get it to the size you want.
