Membership required for AoA

[Terry_A._Harper at hud.gov]

My seneschal has informed me that a person must be a paid member of the 
society in order to receive an Award of Arms.  Is this correct?

I am the Seneschal of the Barony of Elfsea.  I don't like to
          contradict another officer, but I have never known any award
          to be determined by a person's membership.  In fact, I know
          of several peers who have from time to time let their
          memberships lapse, and it didn't stop them from getting
          their peerage.  You do, however, have to be a paid member to
          fight Crown list or be a consort, as well as to hold any
          office of the Society.

          In Service,
