The International Relf Society

Full and Associated Membership is open to all persons showing a genuine interest in the Society's Objectives. Associated Members, must reside at the same address as a Full Member and have the same rights but do not receive copies of the Society magazine in return for their subscription.

Annual subscription rates, which Includes all copies of the Society's magazine, The Wolfpack, published in that year, are as follows:

Full Member: £7.00 if address for correspondence is within UK or BFPO, £9.00 for overseas.

It is now possible for overseas members to pay in the currency of their own country. Just find out the overseas country's rate of exchange and issue a cheque in an amount the equivalent of £9 UK sterling (rounded up to the next dollar, or whatever). Any amount over the £9 will be used for postage.

Associated Member: £2.00

Prospective members should send a stamped addressed envelope to the Secretary, or appropriate national co-ordinator, for an application form.

Membership Application / Renewal Forms can also be downloaded, as a rich text format (rtf) file, here


U.K. BANK ACCOUNT

QUESTION: Why is it necessary for me to mail my membership fee to Canada when the Society's bank account is in the U.K.?

ANSWER: That's very easy to answer. It is necessary because the treasurer lives in Canada and a sterling bank account cannot be opened in Canada. The majority of the members live in the U.K. and the Society's expenses are paid in sterling; therefore, it is prudent to have a sterling account in the U.K. rather than an account in Canadian dollars.

OBSERVATIONS: If one does not pay the membership fee by Banker's Order, the extra postage is very, very minimal. We are members of an international society and, in the future, a member in Australia, Europe or the U.S. could be the treasurer. Another reason to have the bank account in the U.K.!

NOTE FOR OVERSEAS MEMBERS PAYMENT OF MEMBERSHIP FEES

It is not necessary for you to make your payment in UK sterling funds. Just issue one of your regular cheques in the currency of your country in an amount that will be sufficient to buy £9 or £11 and the Society's bank will convert it to sterling. Then you do not pay bank charges to your bank unless your bank charges for each cheque issued or for cheques above a specified number for which they do not levy bank charges.
