MRS Membership is annual and is valid for twelve consecutive months. If you are unable to use your membership at any stage during this time refunds or extensions cannot be offered in any circumstances.

MRS Membership belongs to the individual and is therefore non-transferable.

If you change your mind about joining or renewing, you may request a refund if you notify the Membership Team in writing (returning your MRS membership card if applicable) within seven working days of us despatching your receipt of subscription payment. No refunds will be issued after this time.
