There is no fee for attending, no matter what age. From time to time a voluntary donation would be welcome to help pay for incidentals, but there would be no pressure or obligation.

There is a £5.00 joining fee per year.

Anything left over will be retained by the ‘Treasurer’ and used for part of the next ‘bill’.
