Stipends
As in previous years, the society intends to offer stipends to
attending full members. The levels of stipend are still being
considered as sponsorship is confirmed and as currency values alter. For reference, for the last meeting the levels of re-imbursement were
35%-55% of estimated costs, based on your position in the society
(members, councillors and executive).
