Membership Rates

You may now join as a Lay Member or as a Friend online here

Payments can be accepted through BACS or by cheque on a UK bank if you have a UK bank account, or they can be made online in GBP via Paypal or your credit card. We no longer accept cheques from overseas banks. With the changing exchange rates we find it unfair to charge members at artificially high dollar rates, so the online payment system in GBP will be more economical for overseas members.

Two concessionary membership rates are offered by the Society:

(i) Two or more members of the same household (Fellows, Lay Members or Friends) are able to request that only one mailing is sent and that a second member may join under the concession of Additional Membership at a reduction of £17 from the appropriate category rate.

(ii) UK students following a full-time calligraphy or design course are able to join as Lay Members on a student rate of £23. To join as a student or as an additional member, first send an email to the Membership Secretary to confirm that you qualify for the reduced rate.

Subscription Rates valid from November 2015. Reduced postage rates for non-UK members effective from 1 January 2020: Europe – no additional charge (previously £4), ROW – £5 (previously £10)
