The rates for 2026 are:
UK Membership (printed Newsletter) £15.00
Overseas Membership (printed Newsletter) £20 (2025 rate was £18.50)

Electronic Membership
Much of the Society’s expenditure is taken up by postage, and increasingly so as rates increase. If you are able to do so, please consider switching to Electronic Membership. You will be able to read your Newsletter earlier, and it will help the planet slightly by reducing paper and printing.
If you are an Overseas Member, you would also make a saving of £5.
