Two Ways to Save Money

Mrs. Margaret Lawrence, Hon. Subscription Secretary

Bankers Orders

It may have been noticed that this year we have been campaigning for members to pay their subscription by bankers order and many more have done so for the first time. This has several mutual advantages; it saves the Society the cost of stationery and postage on sending reminders (sometimes three); it saves the member the trouble of remembering to pay because the bank does it automatically for you and your Arch. Cant. and voting papers are assured; and it saves the Hon. Memb. Sees' patience (most important). If January the first is not the most convenient time to pay out then an order dated the first of February will be acceptable.

Covenants

If you pay income tax, you can help increase the Society's income at no extra cost to yourself by signing the enclosed four-year Covenant form and returning it to me. This enables the Society to recover £3 on a £7 subscription making it worth £10. However, only a small number help in this way (about 60) at present. If, say, 500 members signed we could recover a dazzling £1,500 which would be to members' advantage because the greater the income from subscriptions the less likely will the subscription have to increase. After the initial signing, there follows only one communication, and you are left in peace with the Society's thanks.

So act now and complete and return the enclosed Bankers Order/Covenant to me.
