Membership Details and Application Form

We now offer members two categories of membership. Members may opt to receive a standard paper magazine style Newsletter or an E-Journal style Newsletter.  Members make their choice once a year when they are offered  the option of renewing or discontinuing their membership. The opportunity to renew is made by returning a completed form issued with the November Newsletters.

The content of each version of the Newsletter is the same. The difference between them is that there are no costs involved in sending out an e-journal but providing the paper version involves both printing and postage costs.  As a consequence of the lower costs e-journal membership is passed on to members as a lower subscription rate.

If you wish to renew your membership for the next year please complete the Renewal Form you receive with your November Newsletter and post it to us with your cheque or come in to our Research Centre at 9 Glasgow St, Dumfries and pay the appropriate subscription fee.

Please renew before the 31st January to allow our volunteer staff sufficient time to prepare the mailing of the March Newsletters. Please note that the membership year runs from 1 January until 31 December each year and our newsletters are published in March, July and November each year.
Members joining or renewing after the 31st January will have their membership registered immediately. Arrangements will be made to provide new members with all the Newsletter copies already published earlier that year but may not be sent before the issue of the next newsletter.
