RFU's Game Management System (GMS)
GMS is the RFU's/England Rugby's central database computer system through which players (and club members) are registered and can pay their club membership subscriptions. GMS is also used to hold various club related data such as records of registered players, coaches and referees, fixtures and results, and much, much more.

Tynedale RFC membership officials utilise GMS to administer membership details and payments but individual members can login to GMS themselves to directly take up/renew membership and make appropriate payments.

If you paid last season's membership by Direct Debit is there a need to do anything for this season's renewal?

ALL members need to renew their membership – even if paying by Direct Debt – memberships do not roll over. If you paid last season by Direct Debit you should not have to complete a new DD mandate however.

Do I need to be a member on the Club's website?

Just to complicate matters it should be pointed out that membership on the club's website simply applies to the website and NOT to the Club. (It allows you to see/do certain things on the website and receive weekly e-mails).

Does a Colts player take out ADULT Player Membership/Subscription or YOUTH Player Membership/Subscription?

The Colts Section are part of the Club's Senior Rugby Section so even though a Colts Player is under 18 at the start of the season he should take out ADULT Player Membership / Subscription.

Can I pay by BACS or Bank Transfer?

Yes - by arrangement with one of our Membership Administrators.

Can I pay over the bar at the Club?

Sorry, no - personal details need to be recorded & the till is not yet set up to handle (but we should look at if we can do it)

Can I pay by cash or cheque?

Yes - by arrangement with one of our Membership Administrators.

As in previous years will there be a facility to pay at the opening 1stXV home match of the season on September 14th?

Not confirmed yet but very likely that there will be a Membership Enquiry desk similar to previous seasons.

If I want to join the club is there a form I should fill in?

A form is only required/necessary if GMS is NOT used to process your membership application/renewal.
Membership Application Form (Senior Section) - WORD Format
Membership Application Form (Senior Section) - PDF Format

If I join the club what can I expect to receive in terms of Membership Booklet/Card, Season Ticket etc and how will I receive them (by Post?)

Only Full Members will receive Membership cards which can be used at the gate on 1stXV match days to gain admission. These cards will be available to collect from the club (Saturdays in September at 1st XV home games or Sundays at youth training).
if you cannot collect your card contact one of the administrators who will arrange delivery.
We no longer produce Membership Booklets but do intend producing a digital 'Welcome Booklet' in the near future. In the meantime you should find most of the information you require on this website.

I have purchased a YOUTH PLAYER MEMBERSHIP for my child. Who do I contact to give details of the nominated parent/guardian who will have voting rights etc.
