SOL-UK:  Change in annual membership fees 

The Stewards’ Group  has tried as much as possible to consider the views of the members to lower the annual subscriptions whilst maintaining the minimum overhead to service the membership.  Events will be at a considerably lower rate to members, and with the possibility of early booking and group discounts. Non members may attend events as provisional members by paying a provisional membership fee. If provisional members convert to one of the full membership options, the provisional fees paid in the same accounting year to 31 March will be offset.

There are now 5 membership fee categories: 

  • Businesses  - £500 per annum
  • Not for Profit Organisations - £250 per annum
  • Individual - £62.50 per annum
  • Student/unwaged/low income - £35 per annum
  • Provisional - At present £10 minimum per event attended (in addition to standard cost)
