In this difficult year of 2020 with social distancing driven by Covid-19. We have made the following changes.

1. If you are over 18, you join as a Full Member. The annual subscription this year is £10 (whether paid by cheque or Bank transfer)..
2. Under 18’s are eligible to join as Junior Members, they must however be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
   For Junior Members and Students, the annual subscription is £5 (whether paid by cheque or Bank transfer)..

The subscription year runs from September. If you join our society part-way through the year, the cost may be reduced.
