IMPORTANT – Membership renewals, Direct debit, Gift Aid & Standing Orders.
Thank you for having renewed your membership. Historically, NVS Membership
ran from 1st Jan to 30th Dec each year, but as previously reported, we now run
for a rolling12 months from the point at which you joined. For your information, if a member has not renewed their annual membership it will be cancelled within the system. Of course, sometimes we forget, and your membership details can now easily be reinstated too within our new system.
Manual renewal – Included in your SV (Autumn 2020 edition) was a flier - your Manual Membership Renewal Form for 2021. If you were continuing with manual payment, thank you for having renewed. 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). Direct Debit (DD) – Ideally, we would like to encourage as many of our members as possible to switch over to pay your membership subscription via Direct Debit, which you can now easily do via our new website. A big thankyou to those who have already switched to DD payment, we have seen an increase to almost 700 members so far. We use a company called Gocardless for the Direct Debit payment system.
Card Payment Renewal online - You can also now renew your membership paying by bank card and you can easily do this online via our new web site too. This makes it quick and easy for you and it still reduces workload for our volunteers who process your membership. A big thankyou to those who have already switched to Card payment, this is currently sitting at over 350 members do far. We use a company called Stripe for the card payment system.
Standing Orders – We still have 6 members who have still not replaced their standing order with another form of payment. Can you please look at addressing this during the course of this year as it causes a big amount of extra work.
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.
You can now access your own data preferences and to update your gift aid preference via our new web site.
On behalf of the Trustees.
