Mother's Day

Who wouldn't want to make their lovely mummy happy all the time? But at the iMember offices we were thinking of extra special gifts for mummies for this coming Sunday (heads up guys - it's Mother's Day approaching!). Of course money is not in plentiful supply and there is Easter coming (all those choccies to buy) and you'll probably want to be booking a summer holiday soon too. So hmmmm.... we need a loving present but we don't want to go crazy spending.




Bring on iMember - you've got to have a look and register (for free) on the iMember website www.iMember.co.uk. Register what? You might ask! Well, you list all the organisations to which you belong - we'll give you hints and ideas - your gym membership, your breakdown recovery membership, your newspaper or magazine subscription (yes it's a "membership"), your private health care provider, your university alumni, your energy provider (again - there are membership discounts to enjoy through them too). And once you've registered these, you will be shown all the membership benefits and discounts you are entitled to. You can also download a free mobile phone app, so if you are out browsing for a gift and come within a certain radius of one of your membership benefits - you will get an alert.




Simply by being a member of these organisations there are discounts available at Champneys health spas, chocolate and wine suppliers, florists and so many more outlets. iMember will help you make your lovely mummy happy this Mother's Day. Remembering all your benefits is hard, registering with iMember is easy!

Great War Commemorations

The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall are preparing to sow a poppy crop, set to bloom as part of a dramatic one day event to mark the centenary of the First World War. 




West Lawn at Heligan has been ploughed and harrowed - using heavy horses - and shortly the poppy seeds will be sown to create a blood red field stretching towards Mevagissey by the commemoration day - 3 August 2014. 

Members of Kew Royal Botanic Gardens can enjoy free entry to the Lost Gardens of Heligan and go and see this spectacle for themselves in all its glory. 

Get reminded of this and all your member benefits by registering (for free) at www.iMember.co.uk. A simple to navigate website helps you list all your membership organisations and then reminds you of all your membership benefits - there are hundreds out there waiting for you and chances are, you're missing out on them!

Challenging outdoor adventures- what's not to like?

Have you thought about orienteering? Perhaps not the first thought that pops into your mind as you stumble out of bed in the morning - but what a great past-time it is! It doesn't matter what age you are or how fit you are. The aim is to navigate between certain points (in sequence) in the fasted possible time. You can walk, jog, run, sprint - it's all a great challenge for the mind and body.

British Orienteering have an informative and easy to use website for you to navigate your way around (little iMember joke there!) and they can direct you to your local orienteering association. AND apart from the obvious health and social benefits of orienteering, if you are a member of British Orienteering,  you will see that the benefits they have negotiated for you are superb. Like so many membership organisations - so many benefits, so little brain-memory space to remember them. Cue iMember.....simply register (for free) at www.iMember.co.uk and list all your membership organisations and you will be reminded of all the benefits / discounts / bonuses you can claim.

There is also a mobile app you can download (again, it's free) so if you are out and about (perhaps orienteering!) and you come within a certain radius of one of your member benefits you will get an alert to your mobile phone.

British Orienteering offer discounts with SkyParkSecure airport parking; Cotswold Outdoors; Go Ape; the Youth Hostelling Association; The AA plus many more.
