Membership

The time may well arrive that you wish you had joined the Anglo-Netherlands Society, a truly Anglo-Dutch Club, rather than a ‘Nederlandse Vereniging in Londen’, sooner.

If you would like to meet more people with interests similar to your own, receive the printed Newsletter twice a year and would welcome an opportunity to participate in a programme of social and cultural events throughout the year, contact the Society today.

The Society aims to organise an event each month of the year, possibly excepting July and August and sometimes January.  Visits in and around London tend to take place in the winter months, while the summer provides opportunities further afield.  The Society will often arrange a reception at major art exhibitions.

This changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with all ‘present in person’ events postponed; instead the Society took to organising e-events, usually via Zoom, including lectures and a much appreciated online Book Club. The printed quarterly Newsletter in now published twice a year only, but has gained a companion in the monthly electronic ‘e-news’.

Membership dues for the current year are as listed below:

  • Joint members pay £30 per annum (Joint members are any two individuals who receive one copy of any mailing at one address.), Single members pay £23 p. a.
  • A ‘Country Rate’ is available on request, to members living more than 50 miles from Hyde Park Corner ‘as the crow flies’ (Oxford and Cambridge are inside that radius), Joint ‘Country’ members pay £25 p.a. while Single ‘Country’ members pay £20 p.a.
  • An ‘Under 35 years’ rate is available to members younger than 35 years of age,    Joint ‘under 35’ members pay £15 per year, single ‘under 35’ members pay £10 p.a.
