MEMBERS!! Standing Order form Please do not use the Standing Order form that was enclosed with your recent Newsletter. A new one is in preparation and will be circulated shortly. This is due to an omission - the bank needs the signatory's authority to cancel the existing SO and a sentence to this effect has to be included. Many Apologies
