Membership & Subscriptions
We are now using a secure online system called MemberMojo to:
- manage collection of subscriptions
- keep members’ details up to date
- send out communications
- collect any donations members may wish to make to the BRF and R J Sharp Fund
It replaces our current systems, which are no longer an efficient way of managing our membership records.
More information about MemberMojo (FAQs and Guidance for Users) is available here.
