MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS

In the May newsletter we shall as usual be sending out invoices for you to renew your membership. We said last year, a number of members are not renewing their membership. Under our constitution we should stop sending them newsletters and inviting them to our functions.

 

We are reluctant to do this and are appealing to you to renew your membership or tell us that you no longer wish to remain members.
