Signing Up For The Pot-Luck / Pitch-In
A quick, friendly walkthrough of how to tell the club what you're bringing to the next pot-luck / pitch-in dinner — and how to change your mind later.
⏱️
Takes about a minute
It's just a few clicks and one small form. No special computer skills needed — we'll show you every screen.
🔑
You must be signed in
You need your member login (email + password) to add your own item. Anyone can look at the list, but only signed-in members can sign up.

Before a pot-luck / pitch-in meeting, the club uses this page so everyone can see what's already being brought — and so we don't end up with five bags of chips and no main dishes! You'll pick what you're bringing, and everyone else can see it too.

Not Signed In Yet?
⚠️
You can look, but you can't sign up
If you land on this page before logging in, you can still see what everyone is bringing — but there's no form to add your own item.

You're Signed Up!
The page after signing up, showing a green confirmation banner and the member's own row marked (you) with a Remove button
A green banner confirms it, and your row is marked "(you)"
✅
Look for the green banner
"Thanks! Your item has been added." confirms it went through.

Your item now shows up in the list for everyone to see, with (you) next to your name so it's easy to spot. Anyone planning the meal can now count your dish in.

One Item Per Meeting
ℹ️
The "Add your item" form disappears after you sign up
That's not a mistake — the page only lets you have one active item per pot-luck at a time.

If you're bringing more than one thing — say, a main dish and a dessert — just list them together in the same box, like "Pork roast + banana pudding", or add the second item as a note.

Want to bring something different instead? See the next slide.

    Click the "Remove" button
    It's the small button on the right side of your row.
  3. 3
    Confirm the pop-up
    Your browser will ask "Remove your entry?" — click OK.
  4. 4
    The "Add your item" form comes back

Changed your mind about what to bring?

A Few Friendly Tips
📝
Be specific
"Chicken salad croissants" is more helpful than just "Food".
🔢
Fill in Serves
Even a rough number helps the host plan for enough food.
🥜
Use Notes for allergies
"Gluten-free," "vegetarian," or "contains nuts" helps everyone eat safely.
👀
Check the list first
Scroll through before adding — it helps avoid five of the same dish.
