I think we need to update the pages on the wiki here.is rather out of date (and there's plenty of questions being asked here that could be answered there),
could probably do with expanding, and maybe we even need to revise
to include things like paying for membership in advance as Tom is pointing out (maximum number of years, etc.), and some others (e.g. if you renew part-way through the grace period, do you get 12 months from then, or 12 months from the anniversary of your joining date - that's currently a bit ambiguous).
Thanks,
Mike
Isn't a standard order better? You told me I can do that but I'm not clear how.

If we pay in advance and the fee is increased, will you come after us
with a baseball bat for the difference?
Will people paying a long way in advance give you an administrative
headache, for example from having to make allowance for it in the
accounts?
