Uses of email addresses and telephone numbers
The Society makes available to members the benefit of regular communications.
By providing an email address on this form you are opting-in to the benefit of occasional emails from the Society to inform you of the Society’s activities and events and other significant information about matters and events in the local community which we deem to be relevant to our members. You may subsequently withdraw from this service at any time and your email address would no longer be used for these particular purposes.
By providing a telephone number on the form you are opting-in to its use only for communicating matters of importance at short notice (for instance the late cancellation of a meeting that you were expected to attend) or for significant consultations on matters directly relevant to you (for instance to obtain your views, as a member, on a planning application directly affecting your immediate neighbourhood). You may subsequently withdraw from this service at any time and your telephone number would no longer be used for these particular purposes.
Email addresses or telephone numbers may also be used by the Membership Secretary to contact you for the purposes of membership administration.
