The Renewal Forms for the new season are being sent out shortly. However, the Coronavirus Emergency restrictions and precautions mean that the monthly Branch Meetings where the forms and payments are usually handed in cannot take place. So how can membership be renewed?
- Do it Online. A new option this year.
Fill in a form and then pay by debit/credit card via PayPal.
Go to the Online Lisburn Branch Membership Form. - Post the “form and cheque” to the Branch Treasurer is an option.
Whichever option we look forward to you being with us this year.
