Artifical Lawn - Sub base then membrane?

Hi all
I am landscaping our back garden, the first time I have attempted such a project.
I have levelled the ground and got my borders in. However I was told I need to go in this order: Weed Membrane, Sub Base, Sand, then finally artificial lawn. However, being an idiot, I shifted in all the sub base before I put the membrane down. It is about 10 tonnes of sub base so I have no intention of moving it again! The question is now, so I put the membrane between the sub base and sand, or between the sand and the artificial lawn? What difference will it make? I guess weeds make break through the sub base?
Thanks!

I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

AIUI the membrane is to stop the sub base migrating into the soil.
for light lawn traffic I suspect that won't be a massive issue.
stuff will grow on the surface of anything outdoors.0
