Burnham-on-Sea Woodturning Club Data Privacy Policy and Child Protection Policy
​
URGENT - Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the fact that only minimal club meetings were possible in 2020, the committee has agreed that the club membership part of the annual subscriptions will be suspended for 2021. However, it is a condition of club membership that the AWGB portion of the annual membership must be paid as normal. The AWGB has declared a short period of grace past the 31st December 2020 deadline and therefore for club membership to continue it is vital that members make this payment ASAP. See reminder Email to all members from Ray Blake on 3 January 2021.
