With this help page, you will find explanations on how to proceed to register as a new single or couple member. This explanation is in fact the same, except for a few details, for existing members, single or couple, who wish to renew their membership for the next year, from April 1st to March 31st. It also documents the steps in the process of registering new members, or renewing the memberships of existing active members.
After selecting Yearly subscription ? from the main menu you will be taken to the first page where you can choose between single or couple membership. This page contains all the necessary details that inform you of the benefits of being a member or becoming a member, as well as the differences between the two membership plans. The following explanations are common to both plans. Once you have chosen your plan by clicking on Subscribe, you will be taken to the main membership form. The top section is reserved for existing members (Existing user? Please login) who must first login to access their pre-filled renewal form with their details as known by AFNT on the day of this login. New members can begin filling out the form directly below New User? Please register :
