Joining or Renewing

Joining or Renewing Current Membership

For most of the past two seasons our programme has had to be online only.

The Society is currently planning for a full 2021-22 season and the subscription rates are set accordingly.

If Government, Local Authority or Public Health England advice causes significant curtailment of the planned programme, then an appropriate compensation will be made to members.

To proceed with membership application or renewal, please read the appropriate sections below carefully.

Because of the disruption to the 2020/21 season caused by Covid-19, the committee approved a discount for renewing members.

The Membership Subscription rates for 2021/22 are:

  • Renewing Full Membership (including Covid-19 Loyalty Discount): £59
  • Renewing Joint Membership (including Covid-19 Loyalty Discount): £104
  • New Full Membership: £79
  • New Joint Membership (2 people residing at same address): £139
  • Student Membership (Full time students under the age of 21): £10

The preferred method for payment, especially subscriptions, is a bank transfer because we incur no fees; the Paypal fee is around £2.75 for a subscription.

It’s also much easier to reconcile bank transactions than PayPal ones.

If you cannot do a bank transfer, then please contact the membership secretary who will advise how PayPal can be used for your subscription.
