Renewing your SBSG subscription each year

To renew your subscription, log into your account and follow the renewal process.

Once your renewal is approved and your subscription payment has been traced, you will receive an email acknowledging your continuing membership.

Please note that the first time in every new year that you access the website, you will be reminded that your membership renewal is due, and you will only be able to access the SBSG website as a guest until your renewal is processed.   

If you are unable to sign up online, please download this Membership Form. Completed hard copy forms can be scanned and emailed to Martin Hodgson if you use interbank transfer at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or posted (with your cheque for paying members) at 142, Hangingwater Road, Sheffield S11 7ET. If you wish to subscribe by cheque, make the cheque out to "Sheffield Bird Study Group". 

It is no longer necessary to enclose a stamp addressed envelope since membership subscription will be acknowledged by the sending of a Membership Certificate by email.  The certificate carries the same type of information as the old-style card. Members who do not have email will receive a hard copy from Martin, but no stamp addressed envelope is needed. 

For U25 members, your free membership runs without the need to renew until 31 December following your 25th birthday.

In case of any difficulty please email the Membership Secretary - Martin Hodgson at:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for a membership application form.
