Membership

DSWA membership is available to everyone.  There is an active network of branches covering much of the country, from the Isle of Skye, through Central Scotland, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Wales and down to the South West of England.  Branches carry out a range of activities during the year, including training days, courses and demonstrations as well as meetings and social events.  Details of branch events can be found under the section for branches.

Membership runs for a 12 month period renewable on the anniversary from the date of joining. Subscriptions are available for the following categories:

If you would like to join the Association, please click here for an application form, which can be printed out and posted to the office, along with the appropriate membership fee.  Payment by Direct Debit is also available.   Please print out the form and return it with your membership form to the office.  If you wish to pay using this method, please do not send payment with your form.  Payments can also be made on-line via the links at the bottom of this page.  However, if it is a new membership you wll still need to complete and return the membership form to ensure we have all your details, including the signed Gift Aid declaration if applicable.

As a registered charity, the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain is able to reclaim tax paid on the subscription fees and donations  under the Gift Aid Scheme.  All you have to do is to sign the relevant section on the application form and return it to us.  There is no extra cost to you and the Association will gain additional income from HM Revenue and Customs (currently 25p for every pound).  The Gift Aid declaration will remain in force until cancelled in writing by you.

The Association produces an annual register of certificated professional and corporate members, which is available on the website and in hard copy from the office.  Professional and corporate members will also be provided with a website link to their own site if applicable.
