Join OASI

One subscription covers you and your immediate family. Most people come to a meeting or two first — that’s expected, and there’s no obligation.

Three ways to join

If you pay UK tax, please complete the Gift Aid declaration. It costs you nothing and adds 25% to what we receive.

The small print

Subscriptions are due on 01 January.

Members joining between April and August pay pro rata and renew the following January; joining between September and December pay the full rate and renew in the second January after joining.

Membership carries one vote at committee and general meetings.

Anyone under 18 must be accompanied at meetings and events by a parent or guardian.

Membership is at the discretion of the Committee; if an application is refused the fee will be returned.
