IF YOU USUALLY PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BY STANDING ORDER PLEASE SUSPEND or CANCEL IT FOR THE FORTHCOMING YEAR.

   Secondly, from 2027, everyone will pay the same lower membership fee, currently £12.50 - there will no longer be a daytime membership option. Anyone joining, or re-joining, in 2026 will pay the new fee of £12.50 - or relevant proportion, should they join later in the year.
