Fees
As a not-for-profit membership organisation we aim for long term income/expenditure neutrality, although it is necessary for us to ensure we have enough funds to meet the expansion requirements of the company and to meet any immediate needs that may arise. In the ten years since forming, there have been no membership fee increases despite increasing costs and inflation.
