Electronic Membership Renewal  
This year the club have distributed Annual Renewal information electronically to those members who have a registered e.mail address. 

This is in response to the request from members to simplify the Annual Renewal process and continues the Club's drive to reduce costs and the effort required of volunteers.  

If your renewal is simple, ie you are taking out the same membership type again, we hope that you will be happy to follow the process described on the right,  updating where appropriate any contact details on our membership database and then simply post us a cheque together with your membership number. 

Next year we plan to offer a more comprehensive arrangement, including the option for electronic as well as cheque payment and for varying your membership type online.  

any problems, questions or comments about this new process then send us an e.mail  at webmasternssc@nssc.org.uk and we will get back to you asap  
 
Thank you for helping the Club by using this process
