Do we know how membership figures are compared to this time last year as January is the direct debit date?
I believe you won't officially obtain this figure until year end? However, we should ascertain the 2013 figure, compared to 2012, in the very near future, when the 2013 Accounts are revealed?
For your information, membership volumes were down approx 4% in 2012, primarily, due to the demise of the Southend Festival?, although, our committee blamed the bad weather. How can that be the case, when the vast majority of memberships are renewed in January!
