IMPORTANT INFORMATION - STANDING ORDER PAYMENTS 

•  Please would all Association Members check their bank

       accounts and their QARNNS Association standing order

       information.

•  A Direct Debit of £10 should be made payable on the 15 March

       each year. There are some members paying in excess of this,             and there are some members contributing more than once

       a year. If we could streamline the programme and have everyone

       paying the same amount on the same day, it will be easier to

       pick up on those individuals who are paying too much.

       For those wishing to join, please go to the how to join page.

​

A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

      It is a requirement to join the QARNNS Association in order to            become a Branch Member as has always been the case.
