I like the idea of updating the pages regarding
membership on the WMUK
site.
Also, I agree multiple reminders are helpful. I think the idea of changing
the address so that the renewal isn't automatically fed to an archive
folder would be helpful for people like me.
Excuse me for not having checked myself, but all membership dues are due
at the same time each year, correct?
Thanks,
Jess

http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Help
is rather out of date (and there's plenty of questions being asked here
that could be answered there),
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Process
could probably do with expanding, and maybe we even need to revise
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Rules
to include things like paying for membership in advance as Tom is
pointing out (maximum number of years, etc.), and some others (e.g. if you
renew part-way through the grace period, do you get 12 months from then, or
12 months from the anniversary of your joining date - that's currently a
bit ambiguous).
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, you can pay for x number of years in advance

terms on the database, and append notes to the

why.
How far in advance can we pay?
If we pay in advance and the fee is increased, will you come after us
with a baseball bat for the difference?
Will people paying a long way in advance give you an administrative
headache, for example from having to make allowance for it in the
accounts?
