Yes, you can now join NELIYI by making an online payment throught this website, and will be able to book and pay for workshops online here too.
So, if you are not yet a NELIYI member, you can click on the Joining NELIYI tab above and take advantage of our special part-year discounted membership rate offer. If you are a member already, we should be offering online renewal by the time the current membership year ends this autumn, so join this online website group ready for that.
As new workshops are added to our online calendar of events, they will have a 'Buy tickets' button that you can click on to book and pay for your place. Convenient for us all.

The NELIYI membership year starts 1st October, which is when subscriptions become due. Normally we announce the next year's subscription rates at our AGM, but we didn't do so this year, due to various uncertainties about future costs (magazine postage rises, etc.). However, the Committee has now discussed and decided the membership fee for next year (Oct 2012 - 2013), and has tried very hard to keep the inevitable rise as little as possible. The membership subscription fee for NELIYI's 2012-13 year will be only £18, which we think will keep it level with or lower than IYA's individual membership rate - so NELIYI membership will continue to be a great bargain. And October's still a long way away :-)
