We can start a new membership at any time in the year but it is usually simplest to start at the beginning of a month. We ask that anyone arranging monthly membership agrees to a minimum of three months and give a months notice if they decide not to continue. If you are likely to go on longer then it is more economic for you to take out annual (£400) or half-annual (£200) membership. This also helps us manage our finances so we can cover outgoings such as workshop rent, utilities and insurance... and it's much less fuss on both sides.
