Important Notes:
 

  1. Gift Aid Declaration. If you are a UK resident and choose an option with Gift Aid, the following declaration will apply:
    I want to Gift Aid my donations to the Anthony Powell Society, both current and in the future.
    I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in a tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

    Please notify the Society if you want to cancel this declaration; change your name or home address; or no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.
  2. Subscriptions are renewable on the anniversary of joining.
  3. Payment. The Society can accept the following methods of payment:
    • PayPal, Visa or Mastercard via the website.
    • Direct PayPal money transfer to shop@anthonypowell.org or via PayPal.Me.
    • Visa or Mastercard by post, by phone or in person. (Please do not send your credit card details by email; this will compromise the security of your card. )
    • Cheques in UK sterling, drawn on a UK bank, and payable to “Anthony Powell Society”. (Due to high bank charges we cannot accept cheques in non-UK currency, or drawn on or by a non-UK bank.)
    • Cash in person. We will also accept US Dollar and Euro notes for amounts equivalent to £50 or more. (Please do not send cash by post as this is not secure.)
    • Bankers Standing Order is also available to UK members, and is encouraged. You can download a blank mandate form; or set up the mandate via your online banking and email membership@anthonypowell.org to inform us.

Further details may be obtained by emailing the Membership Secretary.
