This is a response to a member posted on the IRTE UK website relating to lapsed membership.
Subscription renewal notifications are sent out annually in January of any given year. If for any reason your subscription is not paid in full during that year, then membership is shown as having lapsed the following year. Once this has happened, the membership record cannot be reactivated until the outstanding amount has been settled in full. A mail-stop will also be applied to lapsed memberships in June of the year that a subscription has not been received.
To avoid this happening to you, please ensure that subscriptions are paid timeously and in full.
