(details below).
Subscriptions are due on 2nd January and cover the calendar year. Cheques
should be made payable to HOS. HOS does not operate a Direct Debit scheme,
but it would help save administration time and costs if members paid by
standing order. These are easy to set up using internet banking, or by
contacting your bank, and can be cancelled at any time. Payments should go
annually to HOS’s account held at Lloyds Bank, Castle Street, Christchurch,
sort code 30-92-02, account number 01182908. One-off payments can also be
made if paying membership for the current year. Please specify your
surname and initials as the payee reference when making any bank payment
and please notify the Membership Records Officer by e-mail or letter of any
payments made. A standing order form can also be downloaded
<here> to
send to your bank. The HOS Membership Records Officer
also deals with changes of name or address, payment queries and Gift Aid.
