JOINING THE SOCIETY


Membership

Membership of the society runs from 1st January to 31st December, regardless of when in the year you join. However, if anybody joins the society after 23rd September, their membership will automatically run until December the following year. In effect giving membership for up to 15 months for one annual subscription.

Current annual membership subscriptions are:

     Single member (UK)                       - £10.00

     Joint - member & partner                - £12.00

     Overseas member (single or joint)   - £12.00


Benefits of Joining

Members will receive a copy of the society’s magazine, The Sandgrounder. This is published every 3 months, and contains information about the society and members, a 'Help Wanted' page, and articles provided by members.

The Members' Interests booklet is sent out with the magazine once a year. This contains details of members and the names they are researching, enabling people with similar interests to get in touch with one another. 

The society also has quite an extensive library of publications that are available for loan. Unfortunately this service is only available to UK members. Members who don't live in the Southport area can still borrow books from the library as long as they pay for the postage.

Some members of the committee have volunteered to undertake free, limited research for our members. This includes searches of of local records such as street directories, electoral registers and old local newspapers.
