New insurance/membership cards for 2023 year have arrived.
All renewals received so far have been processed and membership/insurance cards posted today.
John-e-w, as per my previous reply. There is no auto renew, I posted links to the help page where there is a link for anyone having problems and if that didn’t work I advised you to drop me an e mail (for an invoice to be issued).
John E -W. No you do need to renew. There is not, never has been and never will be an auto renew option. The membership update report in the December issue of The Cultivator explains this but I realise you, like me, may not have received it yet.
To renew you can try the link in the help pages See the help page here.
If none of the options there work please drop am email to vhgmc_membership@btinternet.com
