A decision was reached at the 2025 AGM on 5th June to restructure the RPHG membership rates and talk attendance fees. This has been necessitated by an increase in our overall cost base together with a diminishing number of members.
We are introducing a new membership concept – Friends of RPHG – which will allow those who choose to provide additional support to the Group to do so. This was proposed and seconded by members, and carried unanimously. It will be £50 annually per person payable on the 1st September. Friends will not be required to pay Talk Attendance Fees.
We are eliminating the Couples Membership rate and replacing it with an Individual Members rate. This will be £7 annually, payable on the anniversary of first joining. Individual Members will be required to pay Talk Attendance Fees.
We are also increasing the Talk Attendance Fee, effective from September 2025. This will now be £4 for Individual Members and £6 for Non-members.
