Gift Aid It!

All members who pay United Kingdom Income Tax or Corporation Tax are asked to complete a Gift Aid Certificate. This enables the Society, as a registered charity, to recover the tax paid on the amount of the subscription. This is a very valuable aid to the Society in helping it to finance its ongoing publications.

Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.
