Ah, I should mention that this is for a volunteer non-profit group. They are/were falling into the 'spreadsheet as a database' trap, so this is the first visible step to move off of that and onto something manageable.

The next stage is to get a slightly more comprehensive site going which will keep track of contact information, attendance history, etc.
