Friendly Reminder: BARS Membership Renewal

      Comments Off on Friendly Reminder: BARS Membership Renewal

Dear BARS Members,

I hope you are all well. As we approach the end of the year, I would like to express our gratitude for your continued support of BARS. 

As Membership Secretary, I am reaching out to remind you to renew your membership by 1 January 2025. BARS memberships run from 1 January to 31 December each year. The annual subscription costs £25 (waged) or £10 (unwaged and/or postgraduate). BARS is expecting to need to increase membership fees in the next year to support our expanding activities and initiatives – more information on this will be circulated ahead of any change being implemented. Please note: Please disregard this reminder if you are a lifetime honorary member or have already renewed your membership.

Current members renewing their subscriptions can use any of the payment methods listed on the ‘How to Join’ page on the BARS website. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to ensure that your subscription category and email address are up to date. 

By renewing your membership, you will continue your subscription to and ability to share notices to the BARS Electronic Mailbase. You will be eligible for BARS funding in the form of grants and bursaries and can attend BARS International Conferences, Early Career and Postgraduate Conferences and other events that the Association organises. Your dues also support the open-access publication of The BARS Review and BARS’ continuing work connecting Romanticists in Britain, Europe, the United States, Australasia and the wider world.

BARS will soon be conducting a membership survey to gather your feedback on the events and opportunities you value most. This will help us continue to meet the needs of our members, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thank you for being a member of BARS.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season,

Yimon Lo 

Membership Secretary, BARS
