Current membership costs of £25 per year (full membership)

In order to simplify the collection and administration of membership fees the committee have decided to make the following changes.

  • Membership runs between January to December with existing membership subscriptions due in January.
  • Members who join part way through the year will only have to pay the balance based on the table shown.
  • Joining/Renewal Month Fee
    January £25.00
    February £23.00
    March £21.00
    April £19.00
    May £16.50
    June £14.50
    July £12.50
    August £10.50
    September £8.50
    October £6.00
    November £4.00
    December £2.00

     

Anyone who pays the full yearly membership by February 2019 will receive FREE entry into all the ticketed events at the HJGS 2019 Jazz Guitar Festival

The mathematicians, will no doubt, have realised that £25 equates to £2.0833 per month. As this would result in people having to carry inordinate amounts of small change with them, I have rounded the figures to the nearest 50p. This should reduce the wear and tear on the trouser/jean/skirt pocket and go some way to reduce the possibility of lower back pain caused by the extra coinage weight. Some people may feel aggrieved at having to pay up to 25p more, whilst other will think themselves very fortunate in saving 17p. That’s life.

We are very grateful for the support you give the society by subscribing as members. The monies enable us, on your behalf, to continue the work of the Society.
