How to join the Society

Enquiries about membership should be directed to the Membership Secretary:

Sue Abel, 140 Wills Crescent, Whitton, Hounslow, Middlesex TW3 2JD

Applications may be by post or online, as detailed below.

If applying by post then print off the Application Form, complete it, including your cheque, and mail to the Membership Secretary as above. The Application Form is designed to be printed in Landscape, and for duplex printers with the flip page option set to Short Edge.

If applying online, and you have Microsoft Word on your computer, then use the editable copy of the Online Application Form, complete it as required, make your payment by online banking as directed in the application form, and email the form as an attachment to the Membership Secretary. The form will open Read Only, but you will be able to use View/Edit or equivalent to edit it.

You may also join us online without using the Online Application Form, if you purchase membership of the Society directly from Parish Chest. The membership secretary will then send you a copy of the Online Application Form to complete the information that the Society needs from you.
