  • Renewing Your Membership

      • Shortly before the anniversary of the date on which your membership of MHTMA was first confirmed you will receive an invoice for your membership fee for the following year.
      • If you pay your fee by standing order and your membership fee has not changed, the invoice is for your records and you need take no further action.
      • If you pay by bank transfer we'd be grateful if you would make your payment promptly to save us having to issue reminders.
