The current economic climate presented some unusual inflationary pressures causing challenges for everyone, including the College. We work hard to keep subscription fees low--there was a reduction in fees for 2022 and a 4% increase for 2023. In order to continue providing the valuable services our members deserve we needed to apply a 6% increase to subscriptions fees for 2024. This was broadly in line with the current rate of inflation.
