The time is upon us! It has gone quickly, but with the Trust launch just over a year ago, it’s time for membership renewals! This is a Press Release telling you how to renew your membership with details of a SPECIAL OFFER.

Clarets Trust Renewals Time - FREE BADGE OFFER!

A lot has happened in the past year, but what's more important is that a lot more is going to happen in the coming year. The Clarets Trust has certainly had its share of ups and downs, but we are confident that we are now stronger and are starting to make a real difference. Renewals are due at the beginning of October and, for the Clarets Trust to continue to grow, we need all our current members to renew.

Thankfully, we now have our new website! Current members can take advantage of the Members section of the site. Here you can amend your contact details, check the status of your subscription and, more importantly, RENEW ONLINE!! It's very simple - just go to the Members section and login. All you need is your Membership Number and your password. If you haven't signed in before and altered your password then your password has been set to your surname. If you have difficulty in signing in, then please email us at webmaster@claretstrust.co.uk.

Once you have signed in you will be presented with your details. In the bottom right of the screen is the renewals section. Simply select which membership you require, how you wish to pay and press Submit. What could be simpler? Then all that is left to do is forward your payment using the details displayed on screen. A new feature is the ability to pay by PayPal using your Credit/Debit card. You don't even need a PayPal account to use this facility. Using this feature adds 56p to your membership due to PayPal charges but it saves a lot of time and admin. A button to pay by PayPal will appear on your Members section once you have selected to renew.

See! Told you it was simple. We've also been working hard on making other parts of the Trust better. Many members have now ordered their Clarets Trust Polo Shirt. If you haven't got one of these fantastic shirts yet, then ordering has been made even easier. Simply check out our brand new Merchandise section. Here you will find our Polo Shirts, available in Mens, Ladies and Youths, as well as Clarets Trust badges. Payment can be made online using your Credit/Debit card thanks again to PayPal. Orders for shirts may take 28 days for delivery, as shirts are printed to order in batches.

What’s more, to those members who renew by Monday 10th October, we are offering a FREE CLARETS TRUST ENAMEL BADGE (worth £2), which will be sent out with your new membership card. This our way of saying ‘thank you’ for your loyalty. Please bear in mind that your support of the trust will cost you less than 85p per month, not bad when you consider that it gives you a vote on all vital issues affecting the club you love. If you have already renewed before this offer was published, you will still receive a free badge. This offer is also available to NEW MEMBERS signing up BEFORE 10th October. To join online please go the Clarets trust website here

Thank you for your continued support and please don't forget to renew your membership! The strength of the Clarets Trust comes from our members.
