To answer a few questions.

The PDF is sometimes emailed and sometimes posted. 

The problems we have with the current system.

The details for the big event are now collated on a spread sheet. As 3 of us
are working on the info, it's a headache.
>From the data, we need to extract, T shirt orders, meals, race programs, and
have they paid. Also a headache.
We also need to balance the cheque banking and the direct deposits against the
entrants and often the cheques and DD does have different names. Another
headache. 

It takes 3 of us probably 40 hrs each of volunteer time to put this all
together and we still make mistakes. (It is broke) I would rather spend the
120 hrs writing code to automate this.  

So to be more specific. Yes a web page with SQL links and linked to some form
of payment option would be an answer. The question is what web software and
which vendor for payments would I use for the front end.   

The back end - Programs, T shirts can all be done in Delphi. 

Cheers Wallace.
