IMPORTANT – Membership renewals, Direct debit, Gift Aid & Standing Orders
Membership renewal – Included in this issue is your Membership Renewal Form for 2021. We really urge you to change to payment using direct debit to ease
the burden of workload on our volunteer membership Secretaries. However, if maintaining manual payment, please can you ensure that you return your form and cheque to your relevant Branch Membership Secretary as listed on the Form and please make any cheques out to “National Vegetable Society” (not NVS). For your information, our new web site will have the ability for you to use “Stripe” (via our new web site) in lieu of the previous “PayPal” for subscription payments, however we would still encourage use of Direct Debits as a preferred method of payment.
Direct Debit – Ideally, we would like to encourage as many of our members as possible to sign up to Direct Debit. At time of writing this, we are anticipating that you will be able to do so via our new NVS web site. More to come on this regarding how to do so.
Gift Aid – Please can we ask that you double check your gift aid status and complete
as appropriate. If you require to cancel your gift aid declaration at any time (e.g. if your income tax paid is less than the amount the NVS claims on your donation level or, you no longer pay tax), please let the society know when you return your form. Going forward, with the new membership engagement software, you will also have access to update your own membership details. More to come on this regarding how to do so.
Standing Orders – We still unfortunately have a few members who have not changed their standing order. We have written to those members and I strongly urge you to change this to direct debit to help the society and keep your payments correct. Thank you.
Thank you for your support. On behalf of the Trustees.
