Districts
Our 8 national districts cover much of the country. The borders are fairly fluid and if you live near the boundary of two districts you are welcome to choose for yourself which district you join.
If you live in an area that does not seem to be included in one of our districts you are welcome to become an unattached member.
As a member (belonging to a district or unattached) you will be made welcome at any of our activities, whether that's a national event or district event. We encourage all districts to advertise their activities on our Diary (see Home page) so that members from other parts of the country can join in if they are in the area.
A membership application form, to be returned to the National secretary, is available on the Home page.
