Renewal by PayPal

Click the appropriate PayPal option below to renew {OR see further down the page for details for Bank Transfer}.

You do not need a PayPal account to renew via PayPal, just a credit card.

Please if possible include your membership number. Full members will find this on the address label of your Nutwood Newsletter.

Full members please also choose the appropriate postal region.

If you have any questions about your membership or wish to provide additional information on your renewal please do contact the Membership Secretary membership@rupertbear.co.uk

If you prefer, you may download and print our joining/renewal form and send it with payment {Sterling cheques and POs only} to the Membership Secretary - details in 'Contact us' and on the form here:
Joining and Renewal Form

When you renew on-line you will be sent an immediate confirmation from PayPal and subsequently a confirmation e-mail from the Followers.

Please note renewal is a manual process involving a human being who does not work 24/7 on Rupert matters. We try to complete the process as soon as possible, generally within 48 hours and usually much quicker. But please bear with us on this. If you have any concerns do contact the Membership Secretary membership@rupertbear.co.uk

Data Privacy Statement
We do keep limited personal data of members (names, addresses and, if provided, phone numbers and email addresses) which we believe is collected, processed and secured appropriately. This information is used only for the legitimate interests of membership, such as distributing the Nutwood Newsletter and other information to members, maintaining the membership records, processing renewals, communicating to members individually on membership matters where appropriate, and, if the member has requested these services, access to the members’ area of our website and our Facebook group.

Members’ information is shared by certain committee members in order to undertake their duties for the Followers. We supply members’ addresses to our printers to enable them to mail the Nutwood Newsletter, which addresses they will then destroy when that process is completed. Otherwise we do not provide data to any other organisation or individual.

We have, as required under the new regulations, formally appointed a ‘data protection officer’ and ‘data controller’. These roles are now assigned to our Membership Secretary, Chris Hellen. We have also produced a Data Protection policy, which will be reviewed regularly by your Committee. If you have any concerns about any of this, or as a member would like a copy of our Data Protection policy or would like to see the details we hold on you, please contact our Membership Secretary, membership@rupertbear.co.uk.
