I've been GGL for a good few years, my GGL year was different to my BAEC Membership Year, on my BAEC renewal this time (post November 2011) the new Membership Pack stated
"I am delighted to welcome you to another year of Gold Gust List status ...". The enclosed GGL card Valid Until date being that of my usual BAEC Membership Year (a few months more than my previous GGL date). When the new year's CCR Card arrived, that too had a new Valid Until date, again aligned with my established BAEC Membership Year.
When my first GGL card arrived in November, that too had aligned my GGL year to my BAEC Membership Year ... although I still had the old CCR card.
All (unnecessarily) very confusing
I wonder if our charming and helpful Nicci might shed a little light in to this little matter?
