Dear Rick and All,

Although the ICPS is International it is quite difficult to renew
membership from a non-US country. In the UK the only way I'm aware of is
to go to the bank to get some dollars and to send cash which is not
ideal. If I want to order back issues (which I do) this would involve
sending a large amount of cash whcih is then a gamble. Additionally most
UK banks won't dispense $5 notes which makes the $25 fee difficult.
Did anything come of Barry Meyers-Rice investigation of credit card
payment? Alternatively, would non-dollar personal cheques be suitable?
Some US bookstores accept cheques in pounds sterling without hesitation.

Richard
