Dear Gordon,
as your membership expired, you will need to ReJoin, not renew.
Please follow the process as described here exactly:
https://www.sl113.org/wiki/About/Renewal But where it says “Renew Full Membership”, perform “Join as a Full Member”
If you now follow the steps, and get to the PayPal payment stage, do the transaction. You need to follow these steps for the process to work.
Peter
