I'm with David and Andrew. The chapter should send out an email when membership
expires and perhaps send a couple of reminders at given intervals. I don't know if
this is done now. I know a notification was experimented with a few months ago, but before
then there was no easy way to know if your membership has expired or not.
Similarly, I don't if t's done now, but there didn't used to be an
acknowledgement of a membership application. If it's not done already, the chapter
should certainly send out a "thank you for your £5, your membership is awaiting
approval" and then a "your membership has been approved" email.

So - I'm not advocating FOR a reduction in
limiting the grace period to a
shorter time span (say, three months) but rather seeking your thoughts on
whether that would be a good or a bad idea and why, much like I did when
asking about verifying the identity of members applying for membership.
Candid responses welcome.
I'm thinking you should nag us more.
*cough* I suspect I am one of said members. Where do I go to give you
my money again?
Yeah, I'm with David - active members in grace are mostly just
forgetful :-). As there are virtually no things for which being a
member is essential other than voting, it's very easy to not get
around to it...
Is it possible to set up recurring membership dues as a direct debit?
