New Members - please note

Our ‘accounting year’ runs from the 1st October to the 30th September and we are not taking any new applications for this year 2022/23. Applications will now be for the 2023/24 season.

Subscriptions will become due in October, but we would prefer members to pay in September if possible and definitely before the AGM [normally in November], because you won’t be able to vote or enter into any competitions, if you are not a member.
