Civic Society Membership renewal 2023

Posted on by

The membership year runs from January 2023 to December 2023 so renewals are now due.  We do hope that existing members will wish to re-join to support our activities. In March we are planning hold the AGM (these are always brief) along with a talk.

The membership renewal form may be accessed Membership renewal form 2023  The annual fee is £10 (single) or £15 (for two people at the same address).  The membership form gives details of our bank account to enable payment electronically.  We do however accept the good old fashioned cheque.
