FWIW I've just joined, nudged by this thread. The biggest reason that I might not have got around to doing this wasn't money, member privileges etc., ... just that anything to do with online payments is general a giant pain. Much as I love the work of Wikimedia UK, there's a good chance I'll forget to renew in 12 months unless I'm heavily reminded. The PayPal payment went through pretty smoothly, but I didn't see anything anywhere about signing up by direct debit or other mechanisms. Do you plan to offer something like that, so that the default (for those who choose it) can be continued membership, rather than lapsing after 12 months?

Download the PDF for Direct Debit options (details sent on application).
Thanks, hadn't noticed that. Too late now for this year, I guess. If the goal is to get automatic annual subscriptions for supporters who might have trouble remembering to resubscribe each year, it would be great to have something easier than printing + posting PDF form + waiting to be accepted and acting on subsequent details. Can PayPal offer some kind of "take my money and please keep taking it!" facility?
