Subscriptions

All subscriptions are payable by the end of January each year.

The subscription is £12 per annum if paid by standing order on a UK bank, or £15 per annum if paid by other means (including cheques). We would prefer all members with a UK sterling bank account to pay by standing order as it is less work for all concerned and cheaper for members.

Here is a standing order form (as a .pdf file), for use by elected members with a UK bank account. This should be posted on completion to the Membership Secretary (not your bank).

Remember that standing orders have to be stopped by the member writing to their bank. They cannot be stopped by the IACH. However, it would help if you copy the letter to the Membership Secretary.

We now offer a discounted rate of £60 to members without a UK bank account who pay in advance for 5 years. Any increases in membership fees during that 5 year period will not be applied until the beginning of the next 5 years. A renewal reminder will be sent towards the end of the 5 years. Payment may be made by two methods.

1. By a sterling bankers draft made out to the IACH and sent to the Membership Secretary. He will acknowledge the banking of the draft.

2. Alternatively you may use PayPal. Anyone wishing to avail themselves of this facility should contact the Membership Secretary either direct or via the form-mail on this site. We are able to accept PayPal payments subject to the following provisos:

a. The minimum subscription payment is 5 years for £60.

b. The amount should be transferred in pounds sterling.

b. If the member has a 'Verified' PayPal account that draws funds from a personal bank account, as opposed to a debit/credit card, the exact sterling amount should be transferred.

c. If the member has an 'UnVerified' PayPal account which draws from a credit/debit card, 5% should be added to the amount transferred to allow for the credit card charge.

If you have any queries about membership subscriptions and how to pay them, do not hesitate to contact the Membership Secretary.
