There is no phone number on it. If you want one, say which.

Anything wrong — your title especially — reply to Daniel and he'll fix it. Don't edit it yourself, or it'll come back next time.

Putting it in Gmail

On a computer, not the phone app. Gmail's phone app can't do signatures properly — set it up once here and it applies everywhere.

  1. Press Copy signature above.
  2. In Gmail, click the gear icon (top right) then See all settings.
  3. Stay on the General tab and scroll down to Signature.
  4. Click Create new, name it Club, then paste into the big box (Cmd+V, or Ctrl+V on Windows).
  5. Set both dropdowns underneath it.

    This is the step everyone misses. Under Signature defaults there are two dropdowns — For new emails use and On reply/forward use. Both start on No signature. If you leave them, nothing appears on any email and it looks like it didn't work.

  6. Scroll to the bottom and press Save Changes.
  7. Send yourself a test email to check it.
Using Outlook or Apple Mail instead?

Apple Mail (Mac): Mail → Settings → Signatures → + to add one → paste. Then tick Always match my default message font OFF, or it will strip the styling.

Outlook: File → Options → Mail → Signatures → New → paste. Outlook on Windows won't load the club's typeface — it falls back to a close match on purpose, so it will look slightly different but still correct.

Two normal things, so they don't look like faults. The crest loads from the club's own website, so it needs internet the first time it shows. And the club's exact typeface only appears where a mail app can load it — everywhere else it falls back to the closest match, keeping the same weight, spacing and colour. Every professional signature works this way.
