FAQs

How do I pay my annual subscription?

All subscription payments are usually by direct debit. A direct debit form is included in the membership pack, and you’ll need to submit this with your application.

We’ll ask you to make your first subscription payment by cheque, as your direct debit won’t come into effect until the start of the new membership year.

Can I pay my annual subscription in instalments?

No – it must be paid in full on 1 July each year.
