Current rates

Helicon 2's current membership rates are given in the table below. Please note that the convention office will close on March 15th.. What this means to you is:

1. Postal memberships where the cheque is dated before 1st March will be processed, but if you haven't written to us yet, please don't, bring the money with you;
2. Foreign agents may still accept memberships in local currency after March 1st if you can get the money to them;
3. The absolute cut-off date for receipt of memberships is Friday March 15th;
4. After that time memberships will be available only in Pounds at the door - don't worry, we won't turn you away;
5. Any memberships after 1st March but before March 15th that come with a completed hotel form for double or twin room, however, will be processed and the hotel form forwarded.
   

Adult day memberships will also be available at the door, but only in Pounds (£). The rates are:

An attending membership entitles you to attend the convention, receive our publications and vote in the various fan-voted awards presented at the convention. It does not cover hotel accommodation.

A supporting membership entitles you to publications only.

A family membership is intended for adults who wish to travel to the convention with family members (it being a good holiday opportunity), and perhaps attend some social functions, but don't actually wish to participate in the main convention programme.

Helicon reserves the right to adjust membership rates in currencies other that Pounds to take account of major changes in exchange rates.
