RENEWAL REMINDER Tommy Club is officially a year old! As we celebrate our first birthday, this also means our first ever renewals season is about to start. You can all expect to hear from us in advance of your subscription renewal, so don’t worry about missing it. We are so grateful for all of your support over the past year, particularly in the wider circumstances. We really hope you will all want to join us again when the time comes to renew and receive your 2021 pins — we have so much in store for this next year! Fingers crossed, 2022 will allow us to meet more of you in person.
