If you have a UK bank account and wish to use a Direct Debit for future renewals please print out the Direct Debit form (PDF) and send it in together with your membership application. The Society only does a direct debit run once a year at renewal time so we can't take the initial fee by this means. Members joining on line will be sent a Direct Debit form with their New Members' pack.
Prospective Overseas members please note that payment must be drawn payable in pound sterling (£/GBP) on a UK bank. Foreign currency cheques cannot be accepted because of the rates our bank charges for the payment of foreign currency cheques. If you elect to pay by debit card, credit card or PayPal, this detail is taken care of by your card issuer or PayPal. Therefore the recommended payment methods for overseas members are credit card, debit card or PayPal.
The main income received by the Society is that of subscriptions from members. Thus it is in the interest of all members that subscriptions are paid promptly on the 1st of March each year.
The use of the Direct Debit system saves you from having to remember when your membership renewal is due and, should you forget, saves the Society having to send reminders. Printing and posting reminders are a wasteful use of Society funds. Furthermore, the direct debit system gives the Society a significant saving in time and cost compared with processing other methods of payment, such as cheques.
Since you will need to pay your first subscription by conventional means, the direct debit would take effect from your first renewal on the 1st of March 2024. You are asked to request a Direct Debit Mandate - to do so please tick the relevant box in the final section of this form and a Direct Debit form will be sent to you. Please note that this facility is only available to members with UK bank accounts.

As a 'thank you' from the Society for members using a direct debit, there is also a benefit to you since subscriptions paid in this manner qualify for a discount of £2.00 on the renewal subscription.
Renewals are currently closed until next year.
