KCLEA Announces Free Membership
The November 2008 AGM, as reported on the Events page took some important decisions, and Norman Borrett the current President writes about the exciting new changes in the latest Newsletter. Here is an extract.
"The main change is that subscriptions are being reduced to zero and all engineering alumni are automatically entitled to be ordinary members of the Association. Reducing subscriptions to zero means that our annual income which is used essentially to serve the student body by providing bursaries, prizes and supporting KCLES events could be a risk. However, we hope that all existing members and many 'new members' will feel that they can support our activities in the future by giving donations."
The Newsletter was sent out with the Spring 2009 issue of In Touch magazine, and you may download a copy of it from this link - King's Engineer Issue 1 (PDF-928KB).
Existing Members are invited to continue to pay to the KCLEA a sum of at least £10 per annum as your donation to the General Fund, in order for the Association to continue supporting the current student body.
The General Fund and the Life Member Fund are also being used to "pump-prime" the two bursaries, which it is hoped will become self-funded in the course of time through the generosity of KCLEA members who donate directly into the Bursary Account. Please note that if you support the King's College Annual Giving Fund, it is possible for you to Gift Aid your donation and ask for it to be directed towards the Engineering Student Bursaries.
