By ordering a subscription, an upgrade or a renewal through the EYFHS, not only can you save, but the society will also receive a commission - and that is just one more way that we keep our membership prices so low.


Hull History Centre

Hull History Centre has finally opened its doors to the sound of muffled applause. We have been asking users what they think of the place so watch out for a full report in April's Banyan Tree.

EYFHS are providing visitors to the History Centre a free family history help desk on the first Thursday of the month commencing 4th March 2010. For full details please call the History Centre on Hull (01482) 317 500.

Memberships Now Due

It is that time of year once more and membership renewals are due from 1st January 2010. There are a number of ways to pay your annual subscription;

Online payments can be made using your credit or debit card through our PayPal account. You do not have to be a PayPal member to use this service.

BACS transfer (Banking Automated Clearing System) allow you to transfer your subscription directly from your account to ours saving stamps, envelopes, paper and the environment. BACS transfers are also known as e-cheques.

UK and overseas cheques are still perfectly acceptable as we are more than aware that some of you will prefer not making any kind of electronic payment over the Internet.

Standing Orders are easy to set up and allow your banker to send your subscription directly to the society on the same day every year. Your bank account details are not shared with the society.

Cash payments are acceptable at any of our meetings in Beverley, Bridlington, Hull and Scarborough. If you are sending cash through the post, please make sure you take suitable precautions such as Registered Post as we cannot accept responsibility for any monies lost in transit.

Please complete and submit a UK or overseas application form as this will allow us to check your details against our database. It can also be very beneficial to provide an email as electronic communications saves the society a great deal of money and allows us to pass on contract requests (such as member's interests enquiries) so much faster than stamps and envelopes allow. We maintain a strict privacy policy which means that we never share your details with anyone without your consent.

Why Join The EYFHS?

Well, apart from the quarterly award-winning journal, apart from the extensive resource and research facilities in Hull and Scarborough, apart from the 4 meetings we hold each month* in Beverley, Bridlington, Hull and Scarborough, apart from the resource-packed members zone on this web site; you will also be helping to preserve our heritage for future generations. The EYFHS are very active in the community and have recently been involved in protecting a WW1 war memorial from possible destruction, guaranteeing the future of an amazing grade 2 listed building and recovering a famous Hull statue from industrial wasteland to a new home on a busy thoroughfare where it can be enjoyed by all. Did I mention the hundreds of publications we have produced for Family Historians? How about the multitude of free help desks we provide right across our region? I guess we could go on and on .... but not without your support.

Members' subscriptions are all that keep us going - that and the work of our many volunteers. There are no paid staff at the EYFHS; not one. For just £12 per year in the UK, or £16 per year overseas, you can help us continue our work and take advantage of our vast experience and resources. Without members, we are nothing. Join in today and we promise you real value for your money.

* No meetings in August or December at some venues. Please see our calendar for details.
