Once again, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is coming upon us and with this annual event your membership subscriptions become due for renewal. The cost of membership has stayed unchanged for many years at £20.00, but as with the way of things it is come time for an increase on this bargain price. So, with effect as of the AGM on the 9th March 2022, the annual subscriptions will increase to the still outrageously low price of £25.00 per person, per year.

Should you wish to beat this increase, then any payments made prior to the start of the AGM will be at the old price. The stingy banking system of this country now sees fit to charge the charity for cash and cheques. Thus, the proffered method of payment for your renewal is by bank transfer which is still free. It is appreciated that this will not be convenient to everyone so please do not let technology stop you from enjoying your sailing on Happy Return and pay as you see fit.

If you wish to pay on the night, then David Keast will be available to receive your payments. For members who would like to renew by cheque in the post, then please make cheques payable to: Mounts Bay Lugger Association (MBLA) with your name on the reverse and post to:

David Keast

c/o MBLA Treasurer

21 St. Golder Road

For members paying by Bank Transfer or setting up a standing order, please make payments to:

Sort code 40-36-13

Payees reference Your name (Membership Fees)

Note: If you already renew by Standing Order, please amend your amount to £25.00 with your bank.

If you have any questions, then please don’t hesitate to contact myself or David. Finally, if any of your details have changed, such as address, next of kin, phone numbers or tax status, then please go to www.happyreturn.org and complete a membership renewal form online.

Looking forward to seeing you at the AGM or out on the water.
