In Britain
more
people than in any other country in the world are interested in
Natural History in one way or another. It is felt that many who may
themselves not be wildlife artists in their own right would like nevertheless to
be associated with the society and its aims, It is with this in mind that a
Friends Membership of the Society of Wildlife Artists has been formed. It is,
therefore, with great pleasure that the President and Council welcome any such Friends to
join and so identify themselves more closely with the work and functions of the
Society. They incur no liability for its management and will be admitted on the
basis of an annual subscription of £17. They would then enjoy the following
privileges:-
-
Free admission to
exhibitions or lectures arranged by the Society for themselves and a limited
number of guests.
-
Attendance at Society's
functions at reduced prices.
-
A proportion of
their subscriptions (currently £200) will be devoted to the purchase of a work from the annual
exhibition for presentation to a Friend chosen by ballot.
-
Receipt of a biannual
newsletter (see below)
-
Other occasional benefits
approved by the council.
SWLA Newsletter - The Newsletter is published twice a year, approximately in
November and June and covers a variety of topics relevant to the members of SWLA
