Subscriptions

The annual subscription for paying members (those who regularly attend rehearsals) for the 20010-11 season is £100 (roughly £3 per rehearsal), due at your first rehearsal. To encourage prompt payment, the rate for overdue subscriptions increases by £5 after each concert. Members joining part way through the season pay £25 per concert, and students and pensioners get a 50% discount. If the person who pays your subscription is a UK taxpayer, we ask you to sign this Gift Aid declaration. Check with the treasurer, David Rodker, if you're not sure whether you have signed one.

The easiest way to pay (no paperwork or fees) is to transfer this amount directly from your bank account to ours: HSBC account 30183792, sort code 40-15-05, using online banking or a Giro transfer at a Post Office. Please include your name as a reference, or inform the treasurer at Treasurer e-mail address so we know who has sent the payment.

You can also pay by cheque, payable to Bromley Symphony Orchestra, and hand it to the treasurer at a rehearsal or mail it to PO Box 1065, Bromley BR1 9QD.

You can click this button to pay your subscription immediately by credit or debit card (Visa, Delta, Electron, Mastercard, Eurocard, Switch, Maestro, American Express or Solo). We are charged a fee of approximately £3.70 for this convenience - if you can, please add this to your payment.
