MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
We are now in the renewal period which runs to 31st October. Whilst it is possible to rejoin after that date, most of the fees are higher from 1st November.
As colleagues in Operations need to schedule members to the opening weeks of the BUCS season with confidence, it would be helpful if members renew sooner rather than later.
We are getting a small number of members who are sending payment without the form. This is causing delays in processing those memberships. There are also a small number of people who have returned the form saying they will pay electronically but have yet to do so. Please assist Finance colleagues by not leaving to big a gap between the two events.
If you anticipate having difficulty in paying, please contact the Director of Finance via finance@bafra.info to discuss a payment plan. This will only be seen by the Director of Finance and his deputy. When you complete the renewal form you only need to tick the box saying you have paid electronically or made an arrangement with the Director of Finance.
As always, there is an annual survey of membership that goes along with the renewal process which you are requested to complete. Information gathered from this exercise is used to inform BAFRA policy going forwards.
Thank you to those who have already renewed. As of 7:00pm on Tuesday 15th October, 94 members had renewed. This includes the automatic renewals. Following guidance from the Data Protection and Compliance Officer, I will not be publishing an ongoing list of renewals in Newsflash. Instead, I will be sending a weekly list to members only via email.
In the unlikely event that you are not renewing, please let me know (with your reasons if you wish to share them).
Paul Sutton – General Secretary
MIDLANDS AREA BADGE
Some years ago a number of us had a Midlands area badge. It was suggested to me last weekend reviving this might be a good idea. I've looked into the subject and the issue is that the minimum order is 100 badges. Cost being about the same as the normal BAFRA badge from Paul I'm not willing to spend this much unless I know I'm going to recoup a significant proportion of the cost quite quickly. If you think you would like some please let me know the quantity by email (address in the membership list) and I'll then do a count and let people know if I'm planning to go ahead.
