Our current annual subscription fee is £10.00 (or £15.00 joint) * for which you will receive our Branch annual programme of events, invitations to lunch with our speakers and other circulars we feel are of interest to members (nb. we do try to limit the last to avoid spamming people). Your subscription is invaluable in helping us to meet our overheads, such as the hosting fee for this website, venue hire and ou Zoom licence fo hosting talks.  

Branch meetings are normally held at 2.30pm on the first Saturday of each month (but not every month), usually at our regular and easily accessed venue in Cheltenham. These live meetings conclude with an informal tea and chat.

We also hold some branch meetings on Zoom (usually February, August and December), and these meetings also start at 2.30pm.

Field visits and participation at other events are generally at weekends but don't follow our usual pattern. 

Members are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish - collectively, all that is required is an interest in the period.  We do hope the prospect of either joining or even sampling [ there is no pressure to join ] our Branch activities appears attractive and look forward to hearing from you!

* this will increase from October 2025 to £12.00 individual and £17.50 joint

For further information about branch membership, please contact our Branch Treasurer, Angela Iliff, at ardiliff@gmail.com. Or feel free to attend a meeting or two first and have a chat in person.
