We hope that you have enjoyed the 30 events we have held over the last twelve months, some 10 more than the previous year, and that you’ll renew your membership for this year.  Over the coming year, we have another exciting programme of speakers and field trips, including Stephen Venables, Michael Palin and Simon Winchester, and many others to be announced.

We are delighted to inform you that for the twelth year running we have not raised our membership fees, in order to continue giving maximum benefit to members.  The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March and we thank you for your support of the Society.  There is no need to take any action if you have already renewed or have recently joined.

We normally use e-mail for all dissemination of information to members, as this allows more timely receipt of information and saves the Society costs.  We therefore ask that you provide your current e-mail address(es) above, and keep the Society informed of any changes, in order to receive communications from the Society. The Society may at its discretion agree in writing on alternative arrangements with particular members at their request in special circumstances, but otherwise by applying for or renewing membership you agree that all notices and other communications will be sent or issued by the Society by e-mail only, and will be treated for all purposes as if sent to you by post or delivered to you personally, and for these purposes the inadvertent omission of your address from our mailing list at any time or the non-delivery for any reason of any notice or communication so sent shall not invalidate it. Our website may also be used to keep abreast of the Society’s events and other affairs.
