just ignore it. 

The system sends it out automatically. We are looking in to how to stop it.

The email address is from Dave Smith, all the 2014/15 subscriptions are now expiring. If you have paid up this year then you are a 2015/2016 member which will not expire until this time next year.
The older I get, the slower I was.

Sorry I'm confused... I thought our memberships ran financial year.

I pay in July each yr.

So current m'ship expires 'this time next year' or June 2016?

Memberships are due each financial year, but because we are good to members we give 3 months grace to pay. The system sends out emails automatically and we have not worked out how to make it send them when payment is due at the end of June. Hope you are now less confused.

No, no less confused.

I get that the system wants to sent out reminders however as I am fully paid up, why did I get an email at all?

And 3 mths grace gets us to Sept/Oct for reminders- not end November.
