Annual Membership runs from January 1 to December 31 in any one year
Subscriptions are due on 1 January and reminders will be sent to those who need one at the end of March with a further reminder in the spring Newsletter. If subscriptions have not been received, despite reminders, by 30 June, then the member in arrears will be deemed to have forfeited membership and will be removed from the members’ list.
Notice of the need for renewal will be posted in the September Newsletter.
Subscriptions may be paid either by Standing Order (and we do encourage this method of payment) or by cheque. We regret that, at the moment, we cannot accept payments by BACs although this is under review. An SO form is attached to the Membership application form which can be printed off.
Cheques made payable to, Friends of Cumbria Archives, should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Mrs Lorna Mullett, 24 Pennine Way, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 8EE.
Annual membership rates are: £12.00 for a single membership, or £15.00 for two people at one address, and/or a society/group.
