Unlike our English counterparts Bearscots is a national organisation: and our costs are reflective of that. You will probably have noticed that our annual subs have been increased this year to £7.50 for a single membership. This decision was taken at December’s AGM, but done so in order to develop the group’ profile into a vibrant organisation, and to be able to reach out to Bears (and their admirers) in the whole of the country. We are pleased, however, to announce a new Joint Membership of £10 for two people living at the same address, and a new full Overseas Membership for £7.50.
If you have any issues regarding your membership please do not hesitate to contact our membership secretary on
membership@bearscots.org.uk or ask any of the committee at any of the regular events.
