Getting back to Alan's original question:-

Yes I have renewed for a number of reasons, including the fact that my employer requires that I am a member.

Before you all go on about this being wrong and that the scheme being voluntary think about it this way:-

I knew at the time of my application that this was a requirement and I chose (volunteered) to continue because I wished to work for them as a respected employer.
