~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~    ~

STEP 1

  • 'LAPSED MEMBERS' : To be sure we have your latest details, please go  HERE  first, before proceeding to 'Step 2'.
  • Current Subscribers : You may proceed straight to 'Step 2'  -  however,  if your contact details have changed, or need correcting then please go HERE first, before proceeding to Step 2. 

STEP 2

Once you're satisfied that we have your current contact details (Step 1), then select your preferred membership / subscription type. 

PayPal customers may add that 'item' to your 'cart' (see below), then follow the prompts to complete the PayPal transaction.  Please look out for the PayPal section that allows you to send us your Name and contact details, so that we know who you are and why you're paying us...                   

e.g type:  'YOUR NAME - ODA SUBSCRIPTION 201?'  (This is particularly important if you're not paying via your personal, PayPal registed account. 

NB :  DO NOT USE ANY OTHER PAYPAL LINK OTHER THAN THOSE WE'VE PROVIDED ON THIS PAGE!             

Other Payment Options :  You may also complete Step 2 by paying for your subscription by other 'traditional' methods, however PayPal offers a convenient alternative to many members.  However, please note that PayPal do charge the ODA per transaction, so as a non-profit association staffed by volunteers, we respectfully request that members who wish to use this facility, help us to keep our running costs down by covering those PayPal charges please.  We've already added the charge to the PayPal pricing as listed, which is why these prices are a little higher than the alternative payment options.  

As ever, you can always pay your ODA subscriptions by other, long-standing options of your choice.  See our 'Payment Information sheet'  HERE  for those details.

Otherwise... Select your Membership Preference from the following options:
