Join EBRA

Some people (particularly those who ask to join our Facebook group) question why we require email and postal addresses and a subscription...

Here are some reasons for the modest subscription:

• We are a formal Association and our constitution requires it;

• Although the committee voluntarily give their time to running the Association, there are costs like for example hiring a meeting hall, insurance, stationery and postage.

• The subscription demonstrates that bona fide members have deliberately chosen to join our Association, mailing list and Facebook group. This bestows considerable gravitas on EBRA as an organisation, rather than just being some random collection of names on a distribution list.

• Any surplus is used either to buy things to benefit the community directly, or donated to charity. Our accounts are audited and approved at our AGMs.

Membership is administered by email, therefore we require an email address. We also require a member's postal address so we can still get in touch when email delivery fails, and to be able to communicate directly with relevant members if something of interest or concern arises near them.
