PLEASE NOTIFY MRS PARK IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE MEMBERSHIP as we have a constantly growing waiting list.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR RENEWAL APPLICATION UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE – YOU MAY BE DISAPPOINTED AS NO REMINDER TO RENEW WILL BE SENT.

Application forms for new members are available here and must be returned to the MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY, Mrs Susan Park, Mews Cottage, Holme Lane, Bakewell DE45 1GF by 1^st July 2010.  On 2^nd JULY 2010 those on the waiting list will be offered the vacancies.

We have been able to keep the membership fees at £32 per person, or £31 for each of two or more people living at the same address.

VOLUNTEERS
You will notice that the Renewal of Membership form includes a box to be ticked if you would be willing to volunteer to join the Committee.  As you will know the Chairman retires after three years and the Treasurer and Secretary after five years.  Other Committee members’ jobs are less defined.

We are urgently seeking a few people who would be prepared for their names to be put on a list of volunteers, so when positions become vacant we have an initial source of people we can contact.

Please do not by shy – committee work is your chance to become more involved in your society, to get to know other members, and to contribute some help to enable us to keep going!  It is enjoyable and informal and we look forward to a positive response from our members.  Please think about it and tick the box!

Following our move to Cliff College at Calver we have been having record attendances at our lectures.  We are so pleased that the new venue is proving so popular.

Our membership is held at 300 with a waiting list of about 40.

To apply for membership, please download and return the application form by mail. The membership secretary will advise you of the reduced rate for joining if part way through this year of events.

At the present time guests can not be admitted, but a member wishing to bring someone on the waiting list must contact me to see if space is available. The Society is required by insurance regulations to record names of all guests attending NADFAS meetings, and to pay an insurance fee for each one.

AT THE PRESENT TIME WAITING LIST MEMBERS MAY ATTEND ONLY ONE LECTURE IN ANY ONE SEASON.
