FAQ’s

I only paid for my membership later on in the year. Will it be valid for one year or do I need to renew in January?
Membership runs for a calendar year. If someone joins late in the year, you can count that for the next year until your renewal date, but you will have to pay the higher rate of £40. A new member would be due for renewal on Jan 1st

I no longer qualify for membership in my new age group. Can I still enter races?
You do not need to requalify in your new age group. As long as you maintain your BMC subscription you will remain a member and will be guaranteed entry to races provided you have the entry time for that particular race.

My standing order has already been taken:
Not to worry. But we would appreciate it if you could cancel it now for next year and renew via our online portal in future years to save on manual admin. Many thanks indeed. 

I need to top up my payment from the old amount:
Subs are now £40/year (or £35 if you pay before March). You can top up in 2 ways:

 – Change your standing order to the amount you need to top up by, set it to go out at the next available date and then cancel the S/O
 – Transfer funds to:
Account:                     British Milers’ Club                
Account No:                43685802              
Sort Code:                   09-01-55
Bank:                           Santander PLC

Please let our membership secretary know when you have done it.

Does my membership auto-renew?:
Memberships only automatically renew if you selected that option. Otherwise, your membership expires by default at the start of the year. To cancel an auto-renew membership, please contact our membership secretary.

I’ve paid twice by accident:
If you’ve paid via our online platform, please contact our membership secretary.
If you’ve paid by standing order, please contact our treasurer with your bank details and the refund due. Choose this option if you’ve paid by both methods.
