Dear Friends,
I hope this notice finds you 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 2026. BARS memberships run from 1 January to 31 December each year. The annual subscription rates for 2026 onwards are as follows:
- £17 – Postgraduates, Retired, Part-Time or Impermanent, and Unwaged Members
- £37 – Waged Members
- £57 – Sustaining Membership (a new category introduced to support additional fellowships and BARS’s financial planning)
Please note: Receiving this email does not mean that your membership is up to date. 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 the BARS Electronic Mailbase. You will also 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 organised by the Association. Your dues also support the open-access publication of The BARS Review and BARS’s ongoing work connecting Romanticists in Britain, Europe, the United States, Australasia, and the wider world.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at bars.memberships@gmail.com. Thank you for being a member of BARS.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season,
Yimon Lo
Membership Secretary | British Association for Romantic Studies
