Funny how they can crow about getting constraints over someone else's property (getting an ACV over the ground owned by Anderson and Holdsworth) but don't make a dickie bird whatsoever on their website about sneakily taking people's £10's for renewed membership.
There is a mention on their twitter site but it is easy to miss it amongst their daily barrage of telling us which ex-player's birthday it is today - as though anybody actually gives a fig!
Yes they've put something on their Facebook site - but what if your not a Facebook user???
I expect they emailed all their members a reminder before they started taking their money though?
To remind people the ST said some months back that they waived renewal fees (clearly because they didn't want to be embarrassed by the fall in membership following their first abject year of being), then did a sort of U-turn by saying that you could still pay if you want to though!
It seems though that several disenchanted ST members have found that renewal as been done automatically from the bank details they gave them (remember how they were hacked quite easily a month or two back!) and are demanding this money is returned!
It is obviously up to each individual if they want to continue paying their £10 to the ST but from what comments have been made on their FB and twitter accounts, it does seem to look like they are in the minority by a long, long way, so far.
I had to laugh at the comment from ST Board Member Mike Smith replying to one of the commenters on the FB -
The trust can't cancel payment mandates, that has to be done by the member who set it up....plus a large majority of members have expressed a desire to carry on with their subscriptions...let me guess...you personally haven't inadvertently paid £10, but you thought you'd stick your 2 penneth worth in anyway..?
Good customer relations there then!

You may want to check your bank accounts to see if money has been taken from you already.
Remember to cancel your payment mandate with your bank if you don't want to keep contributing to the ST as I'm sure they are counting on people not bothering because it might be a hassle to do so via your internet banking account.
If payment already has been taken, contact the ST for your refund.
