Membership Rates
The current annual membership fee is 30 EUROS, for one or two people living at the same address. Nursery Membership is 50 EUROS annually.
Being an international society, we are very aware of the difficulties that potential members in some countries around the world may have in paying small sums of money in a non-local currency. To facilitate membership for everyone, wherever they live, the Society offers a number of alternative methods for paying your membership fee. The Table below shows the annual membership in the range of currencies accepted by the Society.
| Currency | Membership | Nursery Membership |
| Euros | 30 Euros | 50 Euros |
| GBP | £25.00 | £42.00 |
| CAD | C$ 40 | C$ 65 |
| JPY | ¥ 3000 | ¥ 5000 |
| USD | $ 40 | $ 65 |
We review the exchange rates annually and those given above reflect recent changes. They will apply until the next review, normally but not necessarily towards the end of the year. Please note that by using PayPal, both you and the Society will receive the benefit of the exchange rate applicable on the day of payment.
