Time to renew your Booranga Membership for 2025
Booranga Writers Centre suspended taking new memberships and membership renewals during 2024 due to our funding situation which prevented the production of our annual anthology of new writing fourW.
Loss of funding means we no longer have our paid employees and have
been obliged to offer a reduced program of activities run by volunteers.
Our AGM is now imminent (see below). To be eligible to vote and stand for committee membership you will need to be a financial member. Accordingly we are reinstating membership at reduced rates to reflect our current operations.
The new membership rates are $40 (concession $30).
Benfits of membership:
·
Access to monthly writing workshops at
Booranga Writers’ Centre at member rates
·
10% discount at Collins Booksellers in Wagga
