Membership Renewal
On behalf of SWI we would like to thank you for being a member in the most unusual year of 2020. The subscription from 1st April 2021 until 31st March 2022 is now due. At the SWI Annual Meeting members approved the committee’s proposal to offer our members a reduction of £10.00 on their subscription for this forthcoming year. This means that:
THE FULL YEAR MEMBERSHIP IS £34.00.
DUAL MEMBERSHIP, where you pay full membership at another WI, is £11.60.
Any members wishing to pay the additional £10.00 as a donation to the SWI Funds is very welcome to do so.
If you are already a member and wish to renew your membership, you should have received an email with details of how to do this. Or download a renewal form here. Email us for our bank details for your BACS payment, or for the address to send your form and cheque.
