Membership subscription changes

Membership subscription rates will change on 1st April 2025. Dear Members, As you know, HGS is a registered charity, run entirely by volunteers who greatly value your membership and aim to deliver a good service. It won’t have escaped your notice that costs have been rising everywhere and, unfortunately, HGS has not been immune to this trend. In particular, printing and postage costs have increased significantly and, as a result, we have taken the decision to increase our membership fees for those of you who prefer to receive printed copies of our quarterly journal, “The Hampshire Family Historian”. The fee for those of you who choose to read our Journal online will not change; the basic membership fee, which has not increased since 2012, remains at £15 per annum. The new rates will take effect from 1st April

2025 and are as follows: • E-Membership - £15 (Worldwide) • UK Membership - £20 (Paper Journal) • Overseas Membership - £25 (Paper Journal) If you wish to continue receiving a hard copy of your Journal, please ‘opt in’ by letting our Membership Secretary know when renewing your membership. If you pay by Standing Order, or have a recurring payment set up on your credit card, you will have to make sure you update your payment. If these are not updated then it will be assumed that you wish to become an E Member and no longer receive the Journal by post. We are grateful for your ongoing support and understanding in this matter. Regards

The Chairman and Trustees Hampshire Genealogical Society
