TATHS Membership Plans

You need to register and subscribe to one of our membership plans to get access to the members-only part of the website.

Existing Members

If you are an existing member and you would like to renew your membership, please select the membership option below, that you would like to sign up to and complete the registration process. Please consider using bank transfer/BACS to pay as it avoids us incurring fees. Details may be found here

New Members

If you are not a member of TATHS, please consider joining. Please select the membership option below, that you would like to sign up to and complete the registration process.

Registration Process

  • Your Name should be the usual name you are known by in correspondence.
  • Choose a Username - which can be your own name or a nickname but must be unique. It will appear alongside any comments or discussion posts you make.
  • Choose a Password - which must be at least 8 characters long and include at least one numeral.
  • The Captcha just needs a tick in the box, and can tell people from robots by some sort of magic.

If you pay using PayPal, your account will be activated straight away. If you choose to pay by bank transfer there will be a short wait while a real live person processes your membership and activates your account. We process registrations as quickly as we can, but there will be some delay, especially if you are in a different time zone or at weekends. Please allow up to 3 working days.

Once we have approved your registration you will get a confirmatory email and be able to log in to the members-only section.

Membership Notes

This form is only for anyone joining and paying for themselves. For membership as a gift, please email the membership secretary. You can join TATHS through the online form opposite. We prefer people to join and pay online, as that keeps our admin costs down. We ask for an email address so we can send you extra information about local and other meetings. If you do not have an email address, we can still operate your membership by post. The subscription year runs from 1st April to 31st March of the following year. Members receive all publications issued in each membership year, as they are published. New members will be sent a welcome pack including everything published so far in the current year.

Data Protection

By submitting this form, you agree to let us hold your details on a database to run the society. In addition, if you choose to tick the boxes, we will: pass your details to a local organiser, so you can be invited to meetings and other events; share your contact information and interests with other members, so you can find like minded people. We will never sell or share your information outside the society or to commercial organisations.

Gift Aid - UK Residents only

If you are a UK resident taxpayer you can help the society reclaim tax on your subscription, increasing the society's income at no cost to you. By ticking the Gift Aid box you are confirming that you pay enough tax to qualify. Full details are on the About Joining page. Benefits of joining TATHS include free publications posted to you and the chance to meet with other like minded enthusiasts.
