Fellows

Fellowship of the Society is awarded for outstanding services to the Society usually at National level.

Fellows face a rigorous process before being accepted as a member of this illustrious group.

  • Nominations are sent to the Society Secretary with a detailed CV of the services rendered to the society and the hobby.
  • The secretary presents the nominations to the Board of Trustees, which validates the CV and decide whether the nominee's contribution is outstanding enough to pass to the next stage.
  • At the General Meeting, members then complete the process by voting on whether to accept the nomination or not.

The award consists of a certificate and gold badge engraved on the reverse with the recipient's name. The number of Fellows of the Society is deliberately kept small, usually between twenty and thirty.
