Current Members Due to changes, and good operational reasons, we are currently asking all current members to pay by Direct Debit in future (from 2002). This is also a good chance to update our records of your membership and issue all members with a membership number. Also, as we have explained, we will be mainly communicating by e-mail in future (although we will still send out mail or fax to those who do not have e-mail) and so we will need this information from you. We are also thus asking all members to complete a new membership form. Your membership for this year will not be affected. If we have not already contacted you about these changes, and you have not already completed, and sent in, the forms, can you please:
All forms (Membership and Direct Debit) should be returned to the address given on the form. The new payment will start in January 2002 and continue until you instruct us otherwise. Your current payment by Standing Order will only carry on until the end
of 2001, no matter when the payment occurs. This is because the account
receiving these payments will be closed at the end of 2001 and thus no
more payments will be possible. If you wish to remain a member of BIRAs
after this date you will have to complete a new form and make a new payment
in 2002. Although this may sound like some members may lose out, those
who pay in the last quarter will get membership until the end of the following
year and thus will have paid for the current year by standing order and
next year through the direct debit. |
