12/10/26 NARPO Subscription Issues
Some of our members will be receiving an email with regard to their subscriptions to Derbyshire NARPO. A recent audit of our membership has revealed an issue affecting a number of our members, which we are in the process of resolving. The email explains what steps the individual members involved will need to take.
We recognise that has arisen through no fault of those involved, however we need to ensure that our records and subscription arrangements are correct.
Subscriptions helps to sustain the branch and enables us to continue our welfare work on behalf of the members who may need support.
Thanks for your understanding.
