iPad/iPhone Guidance to Complete Membership Application Form Online
Please be aware that your iPad/iPhone may not look exactly as described below due to different versions of iPadOS/iOS and the way your tablet or phone is configured, but it should be similar to these instructions.
1) Finding and Opening the Membership Application Form
Go to the Chiswell Green website Home page and tap on the Join Us tab. On an iPhone you will need to tap on Menu to then select Join Us. You will see a link to the membership form. Tap on the link. The form will open up on your iPad/iPhone.
The iPad/iPhone requires you to save the form on the iPad/iPhone so it can be opened in Edit mode to fill it in, but it will save you printing the form and, if you use Bank Transfer payment, posting the form and cheque back.
Tap on the Share 
icon. On an iPhone you may need to tap on the More 
icon to see the share icon. A menu will appear, tap on Save to Files. Another menu will appear with save options. Select your usual folder on your iPad/iPhone then tap Save.
Go back to your iPad/iPhone Home screen and tap onto the Blue Folder icon to open up your saved files. Tap to select the folder you saved the file in. You should then see a small picture of the membership form. Tap on the picture to open the form in Edit mode.
On the latest iPadOS 26/iOS 26, to fill out a PDF form using the Preview app, tap the Autofill 
icon to enable the fields to be selected and filled.
2) Filling in the Membership Application Form
Tapping onto the membership form's first box (u3a Member 1: First Name) will activate the flashing curser and the iPad/iPhone keyboard will appear. You can then use the keyboard to type in your First Name. When finished, tap into the Surname box. The keyboard may disappear, and the form may jump but don't worry, just scroll back if necessary and tap on the Surname box again to activate that box and bring back the keyboard. Type in your Surname.
You may have to scroll the screen upwards and/or sideways to get to the Address boxes, but the process is the same. Tap into the Address box to activate and get the keyboard so you can type in the address. Just repeat at every box to activate and get the keyboard back to type in. Please put an X in the appropriate box for the Yes/No and payment method questions.
3) Emailing the Membership Application Form
When you have finished and read the clauses on page two, scroll back to the top of the form or just tap on the white space of the form to show a title strip that shows the word Done in blue on the screen top left. If using the Preview app you may see a blue tick button instead of a Done button. Remember to save the completed form (Share and then Save to Files).
Tap on the Share icon. A menu will appear headed by the membership form title, select the blue and white envelope Mail icon from the menu choices.
A blank draft email message form will open up with your completed membership form shown as an attached icon in the body of the message. Fill in the Membership Secretary’s email address (membership@chiswellgreenu3a.org.uk), the subject and a brief message. When complete, tap on the blue arrow at the top right of your screen to send off your email.
That’s it done. If you have any questions, let us know and we will do our best to help.
Jackie Lintern, Chiswell Green u3a Membership Secretary.
