(b) Despite this shortfall in subscriptions the treasurer recommended that the Fee levels for this year be unchanged.
(c) The treasurer stated he would appreciate prompt payment of membership fees, rather than risk members incurring the £5.00 late payment fee, for failing to pay before 31 Jan, 2009.
