In 2007 members of the Society voted at the AGM in favour of simplifying our structure by creating one single membership level for everyone.

This was a great step forward for the Society – making us much more efficient and attractive to new members - and helping us to “get louder” and more influential in our campaigning too!

Since then we have been working hard on this exciting change, most importantly by consulting a number of branches to make sure all the details are right.

Please see below for a copy of the letter that went to all Branch Chairs, Secretaries, Treasurers and Membership Contacts, along with a Q & A sheet.
