Payment of Membership fees

Membership Renewal fees may be paid by either of the following methods :-

• By Direct Debit.
• By the use of Visa, Access, Mastercard or Switch cards.
• By cheque, made payable to "British Automobile Racing Club".

Payment by Direct Debit is our preferred method. Payment by this method saves both you and the BARC a great deal of time and administration. It allows us to collect from your bank the correct subscription for the class of membership selected, at the precise time that renewal becomes due. It ensures that your subscription is never overlooked.

However, it is not possible to pay your first membership payment by Direct Debit; your initial membership fees can be paid either by cheque or any of the payment card types mentioned above. For those who join us online, the initial fees will be taken by WorldPay via the Membership section of our WebShop.

The BARC will inform you at least six weeks in advance of the amount of your membership renewal. This gives you plenty of time to change your class of membership if required, change the method of payment, or to cancel your membership if you so wish.

The interests of Members paying by Direct Debit are fully protected by the fact that the BARC has completed, and lodged, the prescribed Form of Indemnity in favour of your banker with the Committee of London Clearing Banks.

If the BARC should originate a Direct Debit in error, you may seek immediate reimbursement from the BARC through your banker under the indemnity.

There are many advantages to both the member and to the BARC in using Direct Debit. If you would like to pay your subscription in this way, please indicate accordingly on the Membership Application form and we will send you the necessary mandate.
