We have designed a new Subscriptions Website with Warners, our subscription service provider, and this is now live. When members renew their subscriptions to QCCC they will be invited to log in using their existing subscriber number and will then receive their renewal options – we have once again held the cost at the same level as in previous years. Once a renewal order has been placed, members will be prompted to register for a new account that can be self-managed. Please don’t forget to tick the box that allows us to contact you via email.
There may be initial gremlins and if you have difficulties in renewing or subscribing, please let Warners know via email at QCCC@warnersgroup.co.uk with a copy to queries@quatuorcoronati.com. This is a new site and we hope that everything will work without a hitch, but if you experience a problem, please let us know asap so that it can be fixed!
We are aware that a few members have found that the system does not recognise their subscriber number and if this is the case, please select the NEW membership option and complete the application form. Warners will cross-check the database to ensure the membership record is updated accordingly.
