Every year we are supposed to lock accounts. (It’s the only reliable way to get annual membership money ... though we do have a lot of honest members).

We can start locking them about a month after we announce new-year memberships are available (ie, after we stop selling old-year memberships).

Generally, this happens during the entire month of March:

• O-Day marks the beginning of renewals. (Everybody asks this. So stop asking beforehand, please).
• AGM marks the due-date for renewals. This means we can start locking accounts.
• However you will want to give a 2-week warning for this sort of thing.
• Don’t forget to unlock accounts if they actually pay for them.
