Left the NUJ, by accident!

A couple of weeks ago I had an email from the NUJ telling me that new minimum subscriptions of £10 per month were coming in to effect from 1st August. Realising that this would more than double my current contribution of 1% of my profits, I decided that after 35 years membership it was time to leave, so I emailed my resignation and stopped the direct debit with the bank. A week later I got another email to say that the £10 minimum didn't apply to freelance members and that the 1% rule was still in place. Clearly I wasn't the only member that didn't realise this!
