Please note that subscriptions for 2015 are due on January 1st. Subscriptions remain at £10 per household. Most members pay by standing order and if so, you do not need to take any action.
However, if you pay your subscription by cheque (or cash) then please send it, payable to Dulwich Society, to me at the address below. To save on costs of posting reminders for this it would be appreciated if this was done promptly. As a way to make savings only two reminders (in early February and March) will be sent to those who have not paid. If the Society has not received payment by the end of March then their names will be removed from the membership.
If you would like to start paying by standing order then please contact me at the address/number below for a form or download it from the membership leaflet on the website.
