Hello Everyone
I hope you’re all keeping safe and well.
It’s that time of year again! Renewals are upon us and I’ve attached the 2025/26 form with this update.
A few points to note before you get busy printing and filling.
Renewals time is the major task for me all year. Modern technology has eased the burden but it still is a demanding time. However, there are various ways in which everyone can help.
Please complete and submit a paper copy of the form. Don’t generate an electronic one which I have to spend time downloading and printing off myself.
No need to submit a photograph if you have previously done so. If you want to submit a new digital photo for any reason – latest botox? – that’s fine though, as it’s easy to incorporate it now the system is up and running.
Where we ask for an emergency contact number, this is someone to contact if you have an accident at the range. Please don’t just put your own number.
When it comes to payment, bank transfer is much the easiest from my point of view. The Harborough branch of our bank has closed so paying in cash and cheques is going to be more inconvenient than usual. I do understand that there’s still a lot of you not into internet banking yet though!
We had a bit of an issue with some cards being stolen in the post last year. Obviously the new cards feel like gift or credit cards and some were stolen at the sorting office. It only happened three or four times, but collecting cards at the range in person removes all possibility of it happening at all. I’m still perfectly happy to post cards, but you need to be aware of the potential risk.
Finally, if you do want your card posting, this will only be done if you include a self stamped addressed envelope. Last year I spent almost £40 of club money posting cards to people who hadn’t put a stamp on their envelope or hadn’t included an envelope at all. This year, any renewals without an SSAE will have to be collected at the range.
Please let me know if you need any more info. Remember we also have a contingency fund for anyone who for whatever reason may have a financial issue with funding their renewal. Just contact me for a confidential discussion.
Best regards
