As a long-standing OSGB member, (and for a short time committee member), I question the wisdom of increasing the membership fees at a time when many people are struggling to pay bills. I fear this price increase will be unitentionally discriminatory, deterrring renewals and deterring new, younger, members.

If, as it seems, a key reason for this increase in membership fees is the increased cost of printing the OSGB Journal, I suggest that the OSGB offers two diffent membeship fees for those who want a printed and online copy of the Journal and to those who would be happy to receive a copy online only.

Personally, I'd prefer to continue to receive a printed copy and pay the increased membership fee. The point I'm trying to make however is that I think many current members and potential new members may not feel the same way and they should be given the freedom of choice.

What do members think?

Kind regards, Andrew
