New Achievements System
Awards on Golden Records Online have been renamed Achievements to more closely reflect tracking and rewarding progress. This is accompanied by adding the popular 252 scheme which is editable to reflect that it is not implemented the same way by all clubs.
It is also now possible for clubs to set up their own badge schemes to set goals and reward achievements.
Tracking of badge and trophy holders is now supported, making it possible to see who has (or has not) been given a badge or trophy and for its return to be recorded.

Inventory Feature
A new feature has been added for clubs, the ability to maintain an inventory of club equipment along with date acquired, original and replacement cost, current condition and who it has been loaned to among other data.
The facility also includes being able to add a photograph of the item and a copy of any receipt. This along with a description will assist clubs in reporting thefts to the police and pursuing an insurance claim.

New Features
Golden Records Online has been updated to add two new features.
Club Calendar
Club events can be added to an Outlook style calendar and advertised to members through their online portal. Events can be made private and hidden from members and it supports colour coding and recurring events. Event attendance can be managed, and through the existing Waiting List feature beginners course and taster sessions can be also managed. Members can add their desire to attend and this will be visible to the club managers.
Attendance
Attendance of members can be tracked and reported. This is independent of the calendar and only records the day attended and not times. Data can be exported or reported within Golden Records Online to show how often members are attending. An import facility is available for adding existing data or for bulk updating.

Subscription Price Increased
Subscription rates have increased from April 14 2024 to £27.50 for an annual club subscription, £49.50 for 2 years and £71.50 for 3 years. The personal subscription rate has increased to £11 per year.
The increase will apply from the next renewal, or in the case of trial subscriptions from the end of the trial.
The previous subscription price for Golden Records Online was set back in 2017.
Although this increase exceeds inflation it is the first increase in 7 years and to keep pace with inflation since 2017 a 25% increase would be needed. Future increases will be annual.

Update to Golden Records
Golden Records online and desktop has been updated to add two user definable fields to Club Records and to enable in the UK the automatic mapping of age groups and rounds for club records to be disabled. This will enable the built in mappings to be disabled if desired to treat new and old age groups as being different for club records purposes.

Facelift
Golden Records Online has been given a makeover to modernise and improve usability. The main change to the private pages is replacing the vertical menu with a horizontal menu to make best use of the screen width for large tables. There is no significant change in content but the re-design lays the foundation for adding new features in the future.

Subscriptions Migrated
All subscriptions to Golden Records Online have been migrated this morning to the Chargebee subscription management platform. Subscribers affected will have received emails from Chargebee.
There is no change to expiry date but when it comes to renewal payment details will have to be re-entered.
Users who subscribed via PayPal will have received an email from PayPal advising that their subscription has been cancelled, this is only in respect of the billing agreement. A new payment mandate will need to be set up through Chargebee.
Your subscription can now be managed through the Account page in Golden Records Online.
The change is to improve service and reduce administration.

Subscription Changes
Subscriptions for Golden Records Online will be moved to Chargebee over the next few days. This will have the following impacts:
- Existing subscriptions due in the near future will be extended to the end of February, and payment collections already set up will be paused.
- Migrated subscriptions will retain their expiry dates but will need to have payment details added when they renew.
- Users may get notifications that their subscriptions have been cancelled. This is only the case in respect of existing payments, the subscription will continue until renewal.
After migration users will benefit from more flexibility in payment and more control over managing their subscription.
