Subscriptions
Many thanks to those of you who have renewed their membership with the Friends for another year. For those who have not yet renewed – if we could give you a gentle nudge please? Membership is still just £3 per person. Remember that our Bank account changed in January this year – payment details are as per my Membership Renewal e-mail to you of 15 January. If you cannot locate this email please let me know and I will resend. I will be at the AGM, so I will be happy to receive cash or a cheque on the night if that is more convenient for you. Thank you.
