change to the membership year
The committee have decided that in future our membership year will run from 1 September to 31 August, as most groups start their activities in September after a Summer break. Existing members will thus have an extra 5 months free membership this year.
An optional scheme to pay subscriptions by standing order will also be introduced to help reduce the workload of the Membership Secretary and the Treasurer.
