The sooner you get the form back to us, the more likely you are to land the job you’d most like – ideally before the August Bank Holiday (August 29th).

It’s that time of year again when we start thinking about all the things we want to do, and wondering who would like to help with them. Could it be you?

You might like helping to run events, helping to maintain the Hanover Centre, or helping out with more technical things like book-keeping, general management or developing policies. You might have enjoyed things like our beer festival, and want to get more involved with it. Whatever you have to offer in terms of enthusiasm, skills or time, we can find an opportunity for you.

Take a look at our Membership Poster for more details. If you can display it for us, that would be helpful too.
