Memberships

This year the chapter's membership has grown from 36 financial members to 47. However, we have also seen 23 2008-2009 financial members lapse (failure to pay or arrange to pay 2009-2010 fees prior to 20 November 2009) and two have asked to cancel their memberships. Membership retention will be a key challenge facing the chapter and future committees.

Gender distribution

The chapter's membership has seen an increased proportion in female members from five members in 2008-2009 (representing 13.9% of the membership) to 11 this year (or 23.4%). The number of men has also increased from 31 to 36.

2009-2010 Gender distribution
Male:      36     76.6%
Female:    11     23.4
Total      47     100.0%
