Annual Membership Fees
For new members in their first year the fee is currently £50, which is half the usual annual membership fee.
Thereafter, an annual membership fee of £100 is payable each year. This is due at the start of the autumn term and covers three major concerts and the Christmas concert. The membership fee is set each year by the committee and approved at the AGM.

In cases of financial hardship the committee may be able to assist in meeting the cost of membership fees. Enquiries in this regard should be made to the treasurer and will be considered on a case by case basis.

The membership secretary is responsible for welcoming new members, supporting members by providing information about the Society and its activities, and encouraging new membership.
