06 Oct 21 - A recent membership request from foreign climes has brought to the committee's notice an anomaly that could leave the association out of pocket! The bottom line is that if you live abroad, the 'Cross Border payment' must be added to the membership fee when applying/renewing, otherwise the RNCA ends up short changed. Membership applications/renewals will no longer be accepted from ex-pats unless this transaction fee is taken into account, if applicable from your country. Thank you for your co-operation.
