I'm with David and Andrew. The chapter should send out an email when membership
expires and perhaps send a couple of reminders at given intervals. I don't know
if this is done now. I know a notification was experimented with a few months
ago, but before then there was no easy way to know if your membership has
expired or not.
Similarly, I don't if t's done now, but there didn't used to be an
acknowledgement of a membership application. If it's not done already, the
chapter should certainly send out a "thank you for your £5, your membership is
awaiting approval" and then a "your membership has been approved" email.

Yeah, I'm with David - active members in grace are mostly just
forgetful :-). As there are virtually no things for which being a
member is essential other than voting, it's very easy to not get
around to it...
Is it possible to set up recurring membership dues as a direct debit?
