Applying to Join.
We
are not a campaigning body and recognise that members may not
be unanimous in their views. We offer members a chance to
exchange and publicise their opinions in a responsible manner.
GreenWeb
has no membership fee for the first year or the greater part
thereof; thereafter it is currently £25 p.a. We intend to rely as much
as possible on help in kind and from volunteers from our member
organisations, together with grant aid and other income.
Benefits
of Membership
Your
exploration of this web site will have demonstrated most of these,
but they can be summarised as:
-
a
page for your organisation on this web site, together with
links to any other appropriate web site;
-
the
opportunity to contribute to the Newsletter, Bulletin and
Events Diary;
-
the
consequent benefits of pooling information and opinion on
environmental matters, reducing isolating and promoting the
capacity of the membership to work together;
-
reaching
a wider audience via the web site, which will be publicised,
and a periodical printed newsletter distributed via council
officers, libraries etc;
-
training
if necessary in the use of e-mails, the internet, and setting
up and amending your web page;
-
the
right to vote and otherwise influence and contribute to GreenWeb
affairs.
Applying

with the person responsible for day-to-day contact (preferably
by e-mail). Organisations will also be asked to confirm
