Dear Network
Members
At the Board of
Trustee's Meeting on April 14th 2010, the Board set the 2010/11 budget and the
following was decided ...
SUBSCRIPTIONS
would have to be increased to keep pace with inflation etc. as follows
...
A.
Individual membership (representing small bands and Clubs /
non-commercial and/or non-funded organisations etc.
Yearly £16
5 years (one year free) still available _at_ one-off
payment of £64
Permits One
individual to name-check up to 3x separate groups in the Directories. (providing
he/she is actively involved in
the performance
or running of the group or organisation!)
Groups or Clubs
can be listed under the name of the group itself in A-Z, if
preferred.
B.
Enhanced membership for larger development and/or commercial
organisations, (with/and/or paid staff, grants, funding
etc.)
Yearly £48
5 years (one year free) still available _at_ one-off payment of
£192
Providing enhanced presence (live logo-links etc.) on
Directories and What's On web
pages.
Small low-res.
attachments permitted via eBulletin service.
Allows a
'personal' entry in the main body of the directories where
desired.
C.
It
was decided to do away with all NEW Standing Order options.
Existing Standing Orders will continue be accepted, providing they
are increased in accordance with the new rates below.
(we
have found Standing Orders don't work very well, and having to increase the SO
amount is a bore for members, but sadly
we
are too small to operate Direct Debits).
A.
Individual membership to increase to £14 at next renewal
B.
Full (enhanced) membership to increase to £40 at next renewal
Now we have a good ONLINE payment facility
operated by Charity Business, the Board has decided that this would be easier
for our admin. and our members, and hopes to phase out Standing Orders
entirely in the future.
Our last increase
in Subscriptions was in April 2008; and I and the Board strongly believe that we
still offer amazing services for very
little cost. We
do hope you agree!
A J
Allen
Chair, Board of
Trustees.
