The subscription for members of all sections is £40 per term.
All subscriptions are eligible for Gift Aid. Recovering income tax on subscriptions that are paid by Gift Aid increases the Group income by £30.00 per head per annum.
As soon as your child is invested, the Subscription Secretary will contact you requesting the first term’s subscription and asking you to sign the Gift Aid declaration. This should be completed as soon as possible and returned.
