BATH CITY FARM – MEMBERSHIP SCHEME

Are you a regular visitor to the farm?  Do you enjoy your time here and believe in what we do?   If so, why not get more involved by joining our Membership Scheme?

As a charity, Bath City Farm receives no central funding, so it’s our responsibility to find the money to take care of our land and animals, to run our wide range of events and courses, and to stage the regular events and celebrations which bring our community together.  Successful funding applications to charitable trusts and other organisations bring in some of the money we need each year, but we really couldn’t survive without the generosity and involvement of our neighbours, visitors and wider network of supporters.

Members’ fees are a vital source of income for the farm, and we are so grateful to our current members, many of whom have supported us year on year.  But we firmly believe that membership shouldn’t just be about giving money.  We appreciate enormously any time our members are able to spare to visit us and discuss our projects and future plans, and the hands-on help some members are able to give us is crucial for the farm’s continued growth and success.

Our annual membership subscription fees are:

• Adult      £12
• Family      £20
• Unwaged/Senior Citizens/Students:  £6
• Under 18/Volunteers:    £4

In return, new members will receive a welcome pack, including a welcome letter, the last two newsletters and a farm bookmark.  Thereafter members will receive a quarterly newsletter, either by post or email, and have access to a members’ only page on our website, keeping them bang up to date with any farm news.  Additional member benefits include:

• 20% off room hire (for parties/meetings/training etc…)
• 10% off all meat and vegetables sold at the farm.  If we have your email address you will be notified as soon as any meat becomes available
• 10% off any courses running at the Farm
• 10% off our Roots and Shoots toddler group
• We plan to develop a new allotment scheme next year. Discounts will be available, but the amount is yet to be agreed

Members are invited to attend and vote at the Farm’s AGM – a chance to air their views and make a real difference to the farm’s future.  Next year we hope to combine the AGM with a BBQ, which will be a great opportunity to meet other supporters of the farm.

If you would like to join us and become a member of Bath City Farm, please contact the farm. Alternatively, please click here for an application form in PDF format.

We look forward to welcoming you to the farm soon!
