Hi

**UPDATE2:** New Link to pay straight away - **[click here](https://buy.stripe.com/6oE5nqb3p69a3MQfYZ)** \- this doesn't save your details with MEETUP\.

**UPDATE:** *After a few comments and very little info from Meetup I have started to find additional information. When you click the link, it asks you for credit card details BUT does not take payment immediately. **It will take payment at the end of the trial**. Also, Meetup only allows me to put fees in Dollars so I put $6.83 which converts at the moment to £5.00 however it says the fee is £6.83. I have again messaged about this.*

You should have received an email from Meetup about the new annual fees (link below if you don't). At the moment they only display in Dollars but it converts to £5.00 for 1 year membership to the Professionals. Typical Meetup charge a transaction fee so that takes another $1 off the amount you pay me. I have made the trial period 60 days as this is a new thing (will go to 30 days after 13th December). So you have until the 13th of December to pay if you wish to continue being a member, which I hope you do. If you don't pay you will be removed from the group automatically - BUT you can rejoin!

If you can't get this to work then contact me and I will send my bank details.

I’ve been holding off on sending this message until I receive confirmation regarding Meetup’s fee increase. Meetup was acquired a few months ago, and the new owners have nearly doubled the fees I pay to keep this group running. While they promise improvements, unfortunately, they’ve chosen to raise costs before delivering any noticeable changes. As a result, I’m left with no choice but to significantly raise the membership fees this year, more than I had originally planned. Our yearly costs now exceed $350.

Going forward, the membership fee for existing members will be £5 annually. Meetup has also introduced a new policy - a trial period: I have set this to 60 days (will go to 30 days after 13th December), and they will automatically remove you from the group. However, you’re welcome to rejoin at any time, and once you do, you’ll have 60 days to pay the fee. New members will have a 30-day trial period before committing to the group to see if they like it or not.

On a positive note, Meetup has introduced a more flexible payment option that no longer requires a PayPal account, making the process easier for everyone. I hope you understand the necessity of this price adjustment. The fees will start 14th October. If you have paid before and it doesn’t indicate please contact me as this is new system and may have some gremlins.

Finally, just a couple of important reminders:

1. **Please update your RSVP** if you’re unable to attend an event—try not to leave it until the last minute.
2. **Contact the event organiser** if you’re running late or unable to attend for any reason.

A special thank you goes to our incredible organisers for their time, effort, and energy in making these events possible. Without your involvement and dedication, this group wouldn’t be where it is today.
