People sometimes ask us "How many members does the Society have?" We are aware that the figure is always changing, which makes it difficult to answer.

Counting a 'family' as two people (which is quite a conservative estimate), gives us 1,253. We can count Corporate members as 2, so adding 50 totals 1,303 members at the end of 2017.

84 new members joining last year is something to celebrate.

The postcode breakdown is equally interesting with so many members living outside the Borough, including Colchester postcodes (14), further afield (23) and abroad (3).
