SPECIAL NOTE    RENEWING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ONLINE FOR 2024-2025

This note is for people who have received reminders about the expiry of their 2023-2024 subscription and wish to renew online. First of all, because we agreed in the 2023 AGM to revise membership categories and increase subscription rates, our online system needs you to re-join rather than renew. Don’t look for a renew button, simply join the Society in the category of your choice. Here are the steps:

First, Log in to the website. For your username, enter your email address. If you have forgotten your password, which is for the new site, not one of three years ago, Follow the process in the box on the right to reset and choose your password.

Second, once you have logged in, come back to this page and select, below, one of the category of membership – just click in the appropriate box.

Third, this will take you to a form where your personal details will be filled in. The default payment method is by credit card. If you want to use Paypal, click on the Paypal button. THEN, scroll to the bottom of the form and click on the button saying ‘Sign Up’

Fourth, you should be through to the payment screen of your choice.

If you have any problems, do not hesitate to email the webmaster at the usual address.

THE WEBSITE – GETTING A NEW PASSWORD

 Go to the Login screen on the website and click on the text where it says ‘Forgot Password’

 It will ask you for your email address – use the one that you regularly use with the Society

 It will also give you a simple arithmetic question to check that you are not a robot

 It will then send you an email where you can choose a new password. If the email doesn’t come fairly quickly, check your Spam/JunK folder

 Then, log in with your email address as your username and your new password.

 IF IN DOUBT OR A PROBLEM, ASK THE WEB MANAGER
