Title: FID Membership
Post by: Resurgam on March 12, 2017, 08:04:11 PM
                   Renewed my FID membership via the internet in December 2016 but there is still no sign of my 2017 membership card. I have tonight emailed them and hope to have the problem resolved asap.

                   Anyone else having problems updating memberships?

                Jeez, kinda hushed in here. I guess that there are no FID members in Detecting Wales, or no one has had problems renewing their memberships.  ::)

Possibly just me then; or card has gone missing in the post.

PayPal took the money from my account on January third and I had anticipated a delay due to the Christmas rush to renew memberships. Emailed them and sent Gill a pm but will phone in a day or two and see what may have gone awry.

Thanks for your reply.

Chris :)

Thanks for the reminder I will have to renew mine when I get back in the country

                     Renewed mine 31st of December and money was taken from our account January 3rd. No replies to email or pm and no one picking up phone. Left details on their answering machine and am waiting for them to contact me.

                     Without my card, I will probably have to miss the rally in April! :(

Hi Chris. You said you paid by PalPal. They usually send a confirmation E.Mail with details of amount and who was paid. If you can print this off I'm sure it would be acceptable as proof of intent even if you don't have your new membership number.

Maybe one of the admin team can confirm this would be OK

Ah ha, good thinking Val. Now why didn't I think of that?

Similar situation with the NCMD, which I paid up for on Monday and don't know when new card will arrive. Card expires on 31st of march but I have all my old cards back to 2013 and could present those cards along with a copy of the PayPal confirmation.

But knowing the legal world and insurance companies willingness to wriggle out of covering claims, I could fully understand the organisers if they were unwilling to allow an individual to participate in a rally. Not that I am expecting any claims against me!

Thanks for the pointer Val. :)

Chris you don't need insurance for DW rallies, it's only advisory. Read the rally announcement by Proconsul.
