Dear Member,
This is the time of year again for renewal of your ESVD membership and in order to ensure continued receipt of Veterinary Dermatology we would appreciate it if you could renew your membership before the 1st January.
We have always based the membership fees on a membership of 105 euro and we intend to continue to do this as a European Society. There have been some complaints that some currencies have become out of step with the euro conversion over the past few years. This relates to the value of the pound sterling which has decreased in value against the euro consistently over the last few years, and in order to keep parity with the original agreed membership fee the sterling membership has to rise to £70.00.
We have also closed our American dollar account and ask our American members if they could kindly pay the Visa/Mastercard fee of 110 euro by Visa / Mastercard direct to the Treasurer.
Payment Forms
Below are links to the appropriate payment forms for membership of the ESVD. These forms include subscription to Veterinary Dermatology journal. You will see there are a number of ways of paying for membership and these options are on the main application form. For bank transfers it is essential now to include all of the bank details which are on the appropriate bank transfer form below.
For the very small number of members who do not require Veterinary Dermatology (Editorial board members and AAVD members) there is a reduced membership fee for this and, an appropriate form.
