Reminder: invitation to renew TS/DC membership:
1st October 2026 – 30th September 2027
[Originally emailed to current members on 2nd September; this reminder sent on 26th September]
Dear DC/TS member,
Your membership of the Theosophical Society/Dhyana Centre expires at the end of September and I invite you to renew your subscription for another year. Subject to the usual run-off period until 31st October, your membership will otherwise terminate on 1st November.
If you have received an email from TSHQ requesting renewal online via the TS website, please just ignore it, it is not applicable to DC members.
The cost remains £20 per annum, that being the levy the TS requires from each member. There is no top up for the DC’s own funds which remain purely voluntary. Two members of a family living at the same address can claim back 50% off the second membership ie. renewal costs £30 for the two.
Payment methods
Payment may be made in the following ways (please do not pay the TS direct):
- Online bank transfer: Mr AF Perry (Dhyana Centre) 20-96-89 90581526
- PayPal to info@dhyanacentre.org [please add £1 to the sum remitted to cover any transaction fee].
- Cheque payable to ‘Dhyana Centre’
PLEASE USE A METHOD OF ELECTRONIC PAYMENT if at all possible. If you need to post a cheque, please do not send it to the TS; instead, let me know and I will give you another address to send it to. Whichever payment method you choose, you will receive an email receipt from me within two days – and if you don’t, please contact me because it means your payment has not been received.
Change of contact details
If your postal address or telephone number(s) have recently changed, please take this opportunity to update the record by emailing me the new details. This is for both the DC and TS databases.
Non-renewal or lapse/resignation
I naturally hope you will wish to renew but if not, you can either inform me accordingly or simply wait until the end of the run-off period when you will be deemed to have resigned and your membership will automatically lapse. In the meantime, if nothing has been heard from you, you will receive a final reminder in late October. If you do not intend to renew, you can simply ignore all reminders and your membership of both the TS and the DC will terminate with effect from 1st November. Please note that you will then be removed from both the DC and TS email/postal distribution databases in accordance with Data Protection regulations unless you have specified otherwise.
PLEASE NOTE:
- although one cannot be a full member of the DC without it, TS membership is NOT obligatory in order to take part in DC groups. If you would prefer to revert to Associate status (ie. lapse your TS membership but still attend DC functions), please inform me accordingly and I will arrange it.
- that an inability to pay is not a bar to membership. If this applies to you, please speak to me privately as there is a simple procedure within the Centre to help those in financial difficulty.
Alan Perry
