Subscriptions are payable annually on the anniversary of the month you joined
(or on 1^st January if you joined prior to 29^th August 2013) without notice or receipt.

The table shows the annual subscription rates in pounds sterling according to address and method of payment. The additional cost of £2 which partly covers the cost of delivery of the quarterly journals overseas and the 5% card transaction fee are reflected in the rates.

The four classes, revised in the 2005 constitution, are 'Individual' for one person, 'Joint' for two persons at the same address, 'Junior' (under 18), and 'Subscribing member organisation' for a body such as a family history society.

As was carried at the 2015 AGM, the subscription rates from 1st January 2016 will be as follows:

2016	UK Address		Overseas Address
Category	Sterling Cheque	Card	Sterling Cheque	Card
Individual	£ 15	£ 15.75	£ 17	£ 17.85
Joint (two people at one address)	£ 17	£ 17.85	£ 19	£ 19.95
Junior (under 18 on joining)	£ 12	£ 12.60	£ 14	£ 14.70
Subscribing member organisation	£ 18	£ 18.90	£ 20	£ 21

The introduction of Direct Debits is really helping to reduce the administration of renewals. It would be greatly appreciated if members who pay particularly by cheque would consider setting up a Direct Debit using the form below.

Direct Debits:: We now have the ability to accept Direct Debits. If you currently pay by cheque you can use this form. It is a .pdf file.
If you currently pay by Standing Order you can use this form
Gift Aid:: If you pay UK income tax, or capital gains tax, and print and sign the Gift Aid form, the SFHG is able to recover the tax paid on the membership subscription. This form is also a .pdf file.
Overseas:: We have a local SFHG agent in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA to whom you can send your postal renewal subscriptions only. Details will be given with your renewal form.

Each new member also receives a copy of the Members Handbook, the latest version of which is available as a pdf to view here.
