Hi All I paid my membership fee online in Aug/Sept 2014 last year but never received any type of membership number/card or new member pack to indicate that I had been accepted, the only thing I did receive was a paypal invoice. I also sent a query through the same system asking for an update but got no response there either. If I pay membership fees again this year are they likely to get sucked into same blackhole?

Hi Jonny, thanks for getting in touch. I was just checking and you paid for membership last year in July, thank you very much! Can I ask, did you get down to any of our meetings last season? The full membership/donation helps us bring together a full season of great speakers, many from outside N.Ireland; it also helps us produce our bi-monthly newsletter and last season we handed out over 200 pairs of solar eclipse glasses to schools and the public. Membership cards for full membership are not normally sent out to paid up members as they are normally collected in person on the meeting nights, the same applies to the newsletter. However if you are not likely to be attending our meetings, you should consider the associate membership option; these members do get a welcome pack sent out and the newsletter posted to them. I can only apologise if you where at a meeting and didn't receive your membership card. I had added you to our email list last season and I hope you received some messages from us, however the blackhole you talk about did mean I hadn't added you to the members section in this forum, sorry! It's done now!
I'm sorry you didn't get a response before, i'm sure it wasn't intentional, we are all volunteers here and we try to provide a great service to the Astronomical Community. I hope you will consider supporting us again in the forthcoming season!

Hi Phill I had intended on going to a few meetings but because I didn't get any membership info by post/email and I didnt get access to the member only sections of the forums I assumed I was not a member and didn't attend the meetings. Not to worry anyway I'll know this year to collect my card at the meeting
