Renewing your Membership for 2010

• If you are already a member and paid by Standing Order in 2009,  you will need to

a) complete a Direct Debit Mandate and return to the Hon. Treasurer as explained below.

b) cancel your existing Standing Order mandate by an instruction to your bank in writing.

In order to prevent an inadvertent duplicate payment you must ensure your Standing Order mandate is cancelled. This cannot be done by the Association on your behalf. The Direct Debit mandate system replaced the Standing Order payment system for payment of subscriptions on 31st December 2009 but like any valid Standing Order it remains in force until formally cancelled.
