Annual Subscription rates 2026

2026 Membership fees and options have been reviewed and subscription rates have changed (September 2025) to take into account increased printing and postal costs.
​Individual Membership now applies to all persons living at the same address.
UK Membership: £25 to cover all people at the same address. 
European Membership: £35 to cover all people at the same address. 
Rest of the World Membership: £45 to cover all people at the same address. 
The above membership fees just cover the cost of printing and posting the MMW magazine.
We welcome donations, over and above the subscription, to go towards the shortfall in costs.
