Change of rules to Boost UK Membership!
The IPBA Board has agreed to relax membership
rules for international Chapters. New Members can now decide
to join the UK Chapter only, without joining
the IPBA. This change recognises that the IPBA Convention,
a major benefit of the IPBA, is not as accessible to international
members as it is for US members.
Members who join the UK Chapter only will not be entitled
to many of the benefits of the IPBA such as the Perfume Bottle
Quarterly magazine, the annual directory of members and access
to the library and will not be able to attend the annual Convention.
They will of course be able to take part fully in the activities
of the UK Chapter.
So, let's recruit some new members! If you
know people who have wanted to join in the past but were put
off by the high subscriptions, let them know that for
only £10pa they can get the benefits of belonging
to a specialist perfume collecting club. |
