Membership Renewals- a reminder

 2021 renewals are coming in thick and fast and many memberships have already been posted back out. However it appears that a few people are not putting sufficient postage on the envelope when sending their renewal to the PO Box. This results in an excess charge being applied by Royal Mail. H&DAA has a policy of not paying these excess charges and therefore letters are held by Royal Mail for about 3 weeks before being returned to sender. In addition some people are using sub standard envelopes which are flimsy and do not stick properly resulting in the contents becoming separated with perhaps just the renewal form being received. Please ensure a suitable size envelope is used and is up to the job and perhaps use Sellotape to ensure that the contents do not escape. This is a busy time of year for the Membership Secretary so please allow a little longer for return of your membership. If you have already posted your renewal and it has not been returned to you by mid January then please contact us to confirm if we have received it.
