Membership categories
As well as annual membership renewal for 2017, the Society is offering three year memberships covering the period 2017-2019 to standard, concessional and company members. The three year memberships include a 5 per cent discount, and will protect those members taking up this option from any subscription increases in the next three years. The subscription rates for next year and the three year option are shown in the table below.
Membership renewal
Membership renewal notices will be sent out during December 2016.
