Our membership year runs between 20 September and 19 September, unless the member opts for the half-year subscription option, which is available to anyone who needs it.
UK
This option covers either the first two Journals and mailings, or the last two Journals and mailings, and is exactly half of the annual fee.
Our subscription structure for one year is as follows:-
GBP 6.00 for U K Juniors (to 18)
GBP 10.00 for U K Adults, Europe (incl. Eire)
GBP 12.00 for Rest of the world
We do not have a non-UK Junior rate, mainly because the proportional cost of getting GBP money orders for the corresponding lower subscription rate is rather high. It is also because not as many under-18s outside the UK seem to read the books, so it would cost the club more to send our Journals to a non-UK based under-18 than we would have got in their subscription.
To help non-U K enquirers work out how much a year's (or half-year's)
subscription would be in your local currency, here is a very useful currency
converter, which opens in a new window.

The club has two non-UK-based Co-ordinators.
For people in Canada or the U.S. please e-mail the Membership Secretary for the address of our North American co-ordinator, Susan Merskey.
Our Australian co-ordinator can be contacted by writing to Jenni Ambridge, 58 Stanley Ave, Eltham, Victoria 3095 and her email address is jambri@optusnet.com.au.
They both can put people in touch with other collectors and local groups and are able to help with subscriptions and ordering club merchandise if you do not have easy access to Sterling currency or PayPal.
