How to set up a User Account on the District 1120 Website
A comprehensive, step by step guide:
The following document, is set out as a comprehensive step by step instructional
tutorial, which explains in detail in a 4 step process how to Apply for and Setup a
Member’s Account on the District Website at www.rotary1120.org
Please Note: The District website is NOT the same as the RIBI website. An account on
the RIBI website does not give you access to your Local District 1120 Website, which
includes the Directory for all Clubs in our District and news and events in this District. NO
DATA is shared with the RIBI site, nor do we have access to the RIBI data. To access
both sites you will need a User Account at both sites.
This Tutorial and User Setup Guide relates to the District 1120 Website ONLY.
When completing the required information for the User Account Application,
Please DO NOT use and type in ALL CAPITALS
The capitalisation of Names and Address Lines should be used please, as applicable.
If any of the information is not relevant to you, PLEASE DO NOT enter anything.
There is no need to enter ‘none’ or ‘n/a’ or a line of dashes ‘----------‘. Please simply
leave the box BLANK
Thank you

Step 1
Start your PC, Apple Mac, iPad, Nexus, etc. and ensure that you are properly
connected to the internet.
Open a Web Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) and
check your e-mail or go to a webpage (say www.bbc.co.uk/news) to check that the
page displays correctly with today’s date and that the internet is working correctly.
To reach the District 1120 website Account registration page, either please click on
the following link: www.rotary1120.org/user/register (then go straight to page 3 of
this document); or load the website URL: www.rotary1120.org and then locate the
‘User Login’ Box in the top right hand side of the screen, just below the
“District 1120” Banner at the top of the page:
Here you will find two boxes for your Username

here in red which reads “Apply for an Account”
(Note: This will in blue text until you click on the words)
Please locate this phrase with your mouse and click on

How to set up a User Account on the District 1120 Website
A comprehensive, step by step guide:
Please take note of the warning in RED
printed on the Screen when you get to
this page as well as the notes entitled “Do you already have an account?” that is set
out beneath this .
If you do already have an Account on the site and have been having trouble
resetting your Password or otherwise gaining access, please do not apply for
an Account again WITHOUT contacting the District Webmaster.
You can contact the Webmaster via email, whose email address is:
[email protected]
If you already have an Account, then to re-register your existing Account will have to
be deleted. This can only be done by the Webmaster. If you do request or it is
jointly decided with the Webmaster that this is the best course of action, then you
should make the Webmaster aware of whether your contact details are listed in the
District Directory, because when your profile is deleted, your details in the District
Directory will also be deleted, and will need to be re-inserted after re-registration. As
long as the Webmaster is made aware of this, then he/she can facilitate this.
The registration page can also be reached directly, using the following link:
https://www.rotary1120.org/user/register
Please note: for your Safety and Privacy this is a Securely Encrypted page. You
can check this by means of the https:// at the beginning of the URL (web address) as
well as the ‘green padlock’ symbol:
This means that all your interactions with the server are encrypted for your safety.

Assuming you are ready to register, choose a Username that will be easy to
remember and type it into the first box. Here I have assumed the member’s name is
“Fred Bloggs” and so have chosen “BloggsF”: (It is preferable not to use a
Username with spaces in it)
Please Note: If you choose a Username that is already in use, you will be warned
and you should then choose another Username. This may mean that you are
already registered or that somebody else has also chosen this Username.

Next, please enter your e-mail address, and then again in the box below in order to
confirm your email address:
If you enter two email addresses that differ you will be notified and asked to correct
the typing.
Equally, please carefully check your email address is correctly typed, because if not
you will be unable to complete the registration process which relies on you
responding later to an email sent to you in order to verify your email address and in
turn to send you a link to use to set a password.
Please Note: If you enter an email address that is already in use then you will not be
able to continue because the registration will fail.
As previously noted if this happens it will mean that you already have an Account at
the District 1120 Website, which uses that email address and in this case you should
immediately contact the rotary1120.org Webmaster for further help and assistance.
The completion of an email address is mandatory

Stage 3
Within a couple of minutes you will receive a confirmation email that you have made
a successful application for an Account on the District Website and that an email has
been sent to your Club Secretary to ask him to verify that you are indeed a Rotarian
and that your email address is correct in accordance with his/her records.
The e-mail will look like this, but will be addressed to you:
Hi Fred
Thank you for registering at Rotary International District 1120. Your application
for an account is currently pending approval by your Club Secretary who has
been sent an email requesting confirmation of your Club Membership.
Once it has been approved, you will receive another e-mail containing
information about how to log in, set your password, and other details.
If the email does not arrive within a few minutes, please check your e-mail
SPAM folder in case it has been delivered and gone into that folder instead of
your Inbox. If your anti-spam system has a 'safe list' or 'whitelist' facility, we
suggest that you should add the "rotary1120.org" domain name to that list so
that future e-mails will be automatically delivered directly to your Inbox.
Regards
District 1120 Webmaster
Rotary International District 1120 - www.rotary1120.org
The e-mail sent to your Club Secretary, is like the example reproduced on the next
page:

How to set up a User Account on the District 1120 Website
A comprehensive, step by step guide:
Dear Secretary
A request to open a user account on the District 1120 Website has been received
from Fred Bloggs and he/she says has claimed to be a member of the Rotary
Club of Bromley.
As you know, Rotarians need a personal User Account to access to the 'Private'
pages on the District Website, including the Online District Directory, which holds
details of Club Meetings and the personal contact information for all Club Officers in
the District.
As Club Secretary would you please reply to this email confirming whether or not
Fred Bloggs is an Active Member of your Club. Please also check and confirm that
the email address of Fred Bloggs is correct - this is the email contact address that
has been used by Fred Bloggs to register: '[email protected]'
If either the name or the email address of this Rotarian is incorrect, please speak to
the member in question and check that they have made this request BEFORE
replying to confirm membership. This is to protect your member's and the Club's
privacy. It also assures us all that this member has properly made this request.
By confirming membership you are giving Club authorisation for an account to be
opened on the District Website, which in turn allows Fred Bloggs to access content
and contact information that is regarded as private apart from access by other
Rotarian members in District 1120 Clubs. To clarify this, the level of privacy that we
can provide is at least as good as the previous years printed versions of the District
1120 Directory; that is to say information as previously made available to any
Rotarian belonging to a Club in District 1120. That said, this relies entirely upon the
trust of Rotarians not to disseminated the information available to third parties.
Please respond ASAP, because until you do so, Fred Bloggs is 'Blocked' from use
of the District Website and/or inclusion in the District Directory (if applicable).
Once you have confirmed Fred Bloggs as a member of your Club, I will set the User
account for Fred Bloggs to 'Active'.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours in Rotary

your Account will be then authorised as Active by the District Web Team and you will
then get another email Welcoming you as an Authorised Member of the District
