Important
Unlike the majority of societies, who normally work on subscriptions running only for the calendar year regardless of when subscriptions are received, we have now decided that any new member paying their membership fees will enjoy 365 days membership from the date of payment. Of course those who have already paid their subscriptions for 2009 will also share the same benefits being applied. We believe this to be the correct and fairest way to treat our members.

We hope this good news will further encourage interested and potential members to join our progressive society.
