Lapsed Members
If you are a former member who has let your subscription lapse you can no longer renew online. Only current member can renew online.
You must follow the processes for joining as a new member. Either joining online or by post.
All the details on the screens or the paper form will need to be completed. You will receive a new membership number and you will have to rejoin any groups you used to belong to using your new number.
All Renewals
We are now outside our renewal period. You can only join as a new member.
Our next annual membership renewal period will commence on 14 July 2026 and end on 31 August 2026. This is for year 01 September 2026 to 31 August 2027
Please renew online if possible. Please note that this method is only available during our annual membership renewal period.
If you are confident with renewing online, go straight to our Members Portal and start once the renewal period is open . Link to Members Portal
Or if you need help, go to Renewing Membership Online to find out more.
If you renew online, you will be registered as a paid up member immediately. You will receive confirmation by automated email containing a digital membership card very soon after you complete the process.
Doing it online greatly speeds up the process and reduces the workload on our membership volunteers. It also reduces the chances of errors in putting data into our membership system (Beacon).
If you must renew by post, please follow this link Renewing Membership by Post. Alternatively, bring your completed form and cheque to one of the collection sessions; please see the Newsletter for details.

Gift Aid
During the renewal process, you will be asked if you wish to allow us to claim Gift Aid on your renewal. Please go to Gift Aid for an explanation of what this is and the conditions that apply to it.
A Note about Membership Cards
A membership card is not essential but do make a note of your membership number.
Your number remains the same every year and you will need to quote it when registering with our various groups.
Details of lapsed members, including their membership number, are held for seven years.
If you renew online your confirmation email will include a digital membership card. This can be printed or downloaded to your phone. See instructions on Saving your membership card on a phone.
