    ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS - following the recommendations of the Treasurer these remain at £2.00 per annum per member liable. (At the Annual General Meeting in September 1971, inter alia, non-wage-earners, students and pensioners were thereafter considered EXEMPT from paying subscriptions). As we rely upon membership subscriptions for the day to day running and administration of the Society and due to prompt and full payment have been able to avoid any increases for many years, would you please settle when convenient. The Equipment and other funding, including any accommodationn fees, Annual BBQ expenses, miscellaneous expenses etc. comes from a separate account sustained by the efforts of a hard-working group within the Society.

    MEETINGS

    MMARS Meetings are usually held at The Stute Hall (formerly St. John Ambulance Hall), Asfordby Hill, near Melton Mowbray (O.S.Sheet 129 - NGR SK726194) at 7.30 for 8.00pm. A sketch location map (prepared by G6KQP) is available free from the Secretary for those not familiar with the area.
