You can now pay your membership by card using Clubmate. If you are renewing and have an email address, you will have received an email from Clubmate inviting you to renew by clicking on a link and following simple instructions. You will need a HEAD AND SHOULDERS photograph of yourself, just like a passport, to insert into your profile, plus the usual stuff like date of birth, address etc. You only need do this once. Next year you can just use your card to pay.
Anyone not willing/able to use this means of renewing their membership will, from 2027, be charged an administration fee to cover stationery, printing and postage costs.
