MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
The subscription for 2016 will be £70.00 per individual Member. Families, where there are three or more children of the family living at the same permanent address, and being Members of the same Branch, will pay a family subscription of £175.00, irrespective of the number of children in the family. This is an increase on the 2015 subscription as a result of increased support, courses and training from Stoneleigh to our Members and Volunteers. Please could I remind you that the Membership Year runs from 1st February 2016 to 31st January 2017. Both Membership and insurance cover will automatically terminate if the subscription is not paid by 29th February 2016. Also, Members who have not renewed by February 29th will not be able to compete in Pony Club competitions at Area level or above. Renewal forms can be downloaded from our website and should be sent to Valerie Brown at Keepers Lodge, Kingstanding, Needwood, Burton on Trent DE13 9PE. GIFT AID add £14.10 per member, a proportion of which goes to the Branch, which we can deduct before payment the Capitation to Headquarters (as no cost to you) - which as you can see, adds considerably to the Branch’s finances if everyone who pays tax fills in this bit of the form. When you have paid your subscription you will be sent your membership card.
