Pauline that is not the case anymore. As I posted earlier : Please note that we already have a "90 day grace period" so members who renew late will not lose continuity - it was voted and approved by the Membership last year - the stipulation is that while "late-comers" will not lose continuity, they will not receive the Review during this period.
