How do I find out if I'm a member in good standing? Is it possible to 
check the register of members? I paid for membership - once, quite a 
long time ago - and have never received any subsequent request for 
"subscription and other sum (if any) which shall be due and payable to 
the Association in respect of my membership" - so I guess I've probably 
been dropped from the list. Is that the way it works? No reminders, and 
silently dropped?  Or do you stay a member as long as you haven't been 
asked for another subscription, terminating at death? That would seem to 
be the implication of the 'general' section in the articles of association.

Either way, it does seem like a lost opportunity for some revenue, at 
the least.
