IMPORTANT – Membership renewals, Direct debit, Gift Aid & Standing Orders.
Manual renewal – Included in your SV (Autumn 2020 edition) was a flier – your Membership Renewal Form for 2021. If you are continuing with 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). At time of writing, we 455 members who usually pay manually but have not yet renewed their membership. We politely ask that you check whether you have or not. If you are not sure, please just give your Membership Secretary a call, their contact details are at the top right of this page. 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 thank you to those who have already switched to DD payment, we have seen an increase of approx. 200 to date taking us to over 500 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 website too. This makes
it quick and easy for you and it still reduces workload for our volunteers who process your membership. A big thank you to those who have already switched to Card payment, this is currently sitting at over 100 members do far. We use a company called Stripe for the card payment system.
Standing Orders – We still have 8 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?
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 website.
On behalf of the Trustees.
