A notice about your membership status has been automatically included at the bottom of every newsletter sent out by WMUK in the past 12 months at least. For example the last one I have saved said: "Date of end of membership term: 2015-10-02 | Your Membership Status: Current" (I will check that as I think it should say 2014)
Jon has already indicated that moving forwards specific emails about membership expiry will be sent as soon as the technology allows. [please note this message is sent in a person capacity, but my personal email account is down currently] On 7 August 2014 12:26, Lodewijk <lodew...@effeietsanders.org> wrote: > I must say that it is odd that if there is realization that a whole bunch > of memberships is about to lapse, nobody sends (even manually) a bunch of > reminders out... > > > 2014-08-07 12:10 GMT+01:00 Jon Davies <jon.dav...@wikimedia.org.uk>: > >> The old system of an alert at the bottom of the monthly newsletter was *not >> fit for purpose.* >> >> We will now have a much better system with our new database that w will >> send proper direct email reminders. >> >> Jon. >> >> >> >> On 7 August 2014 12:07, Andrew West <andrewcw...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> On 7 August 2014 11:57, Lodewijk <lodew...@effeietsanders.org> wrote: >>> > Confusion solved, it seems WMUK lapsed my membership without >>> notification. >>> > So I didn't receive notices as I'm apparently no longer a member. >>> >>> That's exactly what happened to me.
