FARINGDON DRAMATIC SOCIETY Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, England, UK

Adult Membership Form

Any person wishing to take part in a production, whether on stage or off, will be asked to become a member of the society and contribute to the running costs by paying an annual fee. This fee also covers the cost of insurance, which is essential for any member of the cast or production crew. The cost of full annual membership is £20.00 per adult. Your own children under the age of 18 and who still live with you will be included with your adult membership, free of charge. Please complete a separate form for each adult (but only pay once). There is a separate Child Application Form for your children, which will need to be completed if and when they intend to take part in a production but remember that no further payment will be required.

The annual membership renewal becomes due at the AGM held each year in May. A direct payment from your bank using the details that already have been or will be provided before the AGM. These details will then remain on your account for next time. This is the preferred method as there is no transaction charge to the society.

For payment at other times of the year please pay immediately here online via the secure PayPal platform. You may use either a PayPal account (if you have one) or your debit/credit card. Please note that payments via PayPal include a non-refundable transaction fee.

If you are a current member and have no changes to make to your details or you have already sent the form and now just need to pay online you can go straight to our:
