Why use an event form?
Useful things you can do with an event form:
- Collect the name of the person attending (although the system will ask for their name during checkout, they might be buying for someone else).
- Obtain member's consent (e.g. Parental consent, or acknowledgment that they read the terms & conditions)
- Display on the event page a list of who has signed up (some members like to know who else is going...)
- Print off a summary of the forms completed - so on the day you have a list of who's coming, contact numbers etc.
- Set the form up so members only have to complete questions relevant to them
- Use the same form for multiple events (once you have done the hard work once, you won't need to touch it again)

Events with Multiple Dates
