This is a gentle reminder that now is the time to renew your membership of Strings Attached for the period 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023, unless you have already done so or have only recently joined. The membership fee remains £10 per person and free for students.
If possible, please renew your membership using our online form which can be found at https://www.stringsattachedmusic.org.uk/friends/
Alternatively, membership forms can be downloaded using the same link and returned by post to the address on the form or by attaching them to an email to c.e.moon@btinternet.com . For Gift Aid purposes please complete one form per person.
Payment by bank transfer is much more convenient for us than payment by cheque. If paying by bank transfer, please use your surname as the reference. If you pay by cheque there is likely to be a delay before the cheque is paid in.
Paid-up members will receive a membership card which, to save postage, will normally be given out at the October, and subsequent, concerts. It will give access to a free glass of sherry or fruit juice during concert intervals.
We very much hope you will choose to renew your membership and support our work – and that you will encourage like-minded people to join us as well.
