Choose the correct word.

I am writing to thank the organisation for the (1) ___________ service I received when my membership (2)___________. As you may know, I am a (3) ___________ member of the Chaversham (4) ___________ Car Club, having spent most of my (5) ___________ working with cars built in the (6) ___________ following the First World War.

Indeed, I was under the impression that I did not have to renew my subscription each year as I had been granted the status of '(7) ___________ member' for the (8) ___________ I spent as Chairperson of the organisation in the 1970s. I was therefore more than a little surprised to receive a rather (9) ___________ e—mail from the club saying that as three months had (10) ___________ since my membership ran out I was no longer eligible to attend the (11) ___________ dinner next month. I, of course‚ immediately replied, stating the facts as I saw them.

I received a (12) ___________ e-mail from the same person, apologising for the confusion, explaining that although I did not have to pay to renew my subscription, I still had to renew it. They kindly explained how I could do this online, and I must say I was most impressed with the whole thing, as the change from my being a non-member to being a member again was literally (13) ___________.

I am now looking forward to meeting up with some of my (14) ___________ at the dinner next week. I hope to see you there.

Warnest regards,
Robert Thompson
