   and becomes due for renewal on 31st March. Membership fees will be taken annually via direct debit
   on 1st April.
3. Since 1st April 2021, BSDSM is now merged with the British Sleep Society and BSDSM Members have

6. In consideration of the value of the resources provided to members at the start of their
   membership, members who initially join within the period 1st June to 31st March, will be
   required to continue their membership for a full membership year when it comes due for
   renewal at the end of March. Cancellation prior to the end of second year is strictly not
   permitted.
7. We will send you notification of the renewal of your membership for the forthcoming year and the
   relevant fees 1 month prior to renewal date.
8. Your membership will be continued unless a written cancellation (via recorded letter or email to the
   secretary) is received no later than 10th March.

    providing evidence of relevant continuing education activity for Board approval.
