AGM Timeline
Key dates and submission deadlines for delegate nominations, motions, and voting procedures.
Management Board will be including a motion for the AGM for an increase in membership fees. Following a review of Society costs and the impact of inflation, the proposal will be that, with effect from 1 July 2026:
- Single Membership be increased by £1 per annum;
- The lower rate for Joint Membership be adjusted to bring it more in line with the cost of two members.
Further explanation will be provided with the AGM documents. This will also provide an outline of the work being undertaken by the Membership Working Group to design membership options for the future.
