Following a discussion on 'another forum' with regards to OxVox membership numbers, can 'someone in the know' inform me of the current Membership figures?
If it could be broken down into 'Life Members', 'Standard Members' and 'Junior Members', that would be appreciated.
Thanks.

By all means.
Membership as at 25th February stood at 541, an increase of 20% on this time last year.
The membership consists of 417 voting members, and 124 Junior Members. Membership continues to demonstrate ‘churn’ (i.e. we have a significant number of lapsing members every year) but the period covered by this report was a successful one for attracting new members.
We have had a few resignations in the last week-10 days (3 I think) and I don't think they are removed from the opening figure.

They were indeed removed from that figure so current membership is exactly 541 no lapsed members as was mentioned we even had an independent person check for that during the forming of this years' accounts. So it really is 541 the highest figure OxVox has ever had. But of course we'd like to see it substantially higher but it's very much in line with other trusts by being 10% of the average home gate. Life members is 107. Hope this helps and it will be as usual announced at this Saturday's AGM as it is every year only difference is you've ruined the surprise!

Thank you for the facts and figures, I suspect some on YV will be disappointed as they fly in the face of their guesstimates!

That our database company for you! I have received an email from Ian. his account was requested to be closed 2 years ago! Matt D will be contacting the database company. g despite being marked as dead he would not have counted in our figure of 541 so that figure remains active. I'm guessing a wrong box was ticked when he resigned! Fortunately he's alive and well!
