But wait....I thought I was already a member?

If you’ve tried to log in without success, you may not be listed as a current paid member in our system. This could be because you missed our opt-in request when we transitioned to a paid membership. Several long-standing members have been in touch about similar issues, so you are not alone. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and warmly welcome you back.
