Full Membership

For Full Membership (which gives you voting rights and statutory membership of the company plus a wide variety of benefits), the fee is normally only £45 per annum (reduced to £30 for your first year with the discount) – our newsletters are delivered via email in that case. If you wish to receive printed versions of our newsletters via post then to cover the extra costs the Membership Fee is £75 per annum (reduced to £60 for your first year with the discount). Full members are committed to paying £1 on wind up of the company under the Articles of Association. Full membership helps to support the activities of the Society.

To sign up for either of these membership options, the simplest way to pay is via credit or debit card by clicking on the “Submit” button below – this uses the secure Stripe payment system to process the payment and set up an annual subscription. Select one or other of the subscription options from the drop-down menu when paying by that method.

If you prefer to pay via cheque, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page, select which subscription option you prefer, print the page out and send it with a cheque for the appropriate amount to the following address (cheques should be made payable to the UK Individual Shareholders Society): ShareSoc, Suite 34, 5 Liberty Square, Kings Hill, WEST MALLING, ME19 4AU. If you don’t have a connected printer, simply include a note giving your name, address and email address.

Alternatively, to pay by bank transfer, contact our office
