11-19 Group Membership – all the ASE benefits for less!

Would you like to reduce the cost of your ASE membership and still receive the same benefits? Would your colleagues like the ASE benefits that you enjoy?

Whether you are a teacher, technician or teaching assistant, an existing or aspiring ASE member - you should find out about the 11-19 Group Membership.

ASE is offering a reduced-price 11-19 membership plan for science departments in schools and colleges. The plan has been developed so that staff from the same institution may join as a group with their department/institution coordinating and paying for the membership plan.

To qualify for the special price your Group Membership Plan must include a minimum of 4 memberships, 3 of which must be 11-19 memberships and the fourth a teacher, technician or teaching assistant. All 4, and any additional memberships (teacher, technician or teaching assistant and with no upper limit) will then attract a 20% discount.

Each group member will have the same benefits as an individual member of their category (11-19, technician or teaching assistant) including personal communications. You can see the full list of benefits available to members by clicking here. However, payment for the Group will be made through the Group’s employer who will also be responsible for keeping their Group list up to date and informing us of any changes.

All the individuals within a Group Membership Plan will share the same membership start date. A Group may add new members to their Group Plan at any time and each additional membership will also attract a 20% discount. The start date for each membership added to an existing Group Plan will be backdated to the start date of that Group Plan; the new member will receive the back issues of journals that were made available through that Group Plan before they joined.

Most Group Plans will include both existing and new members. When existing members join a Group Plan their individual membership will cease and they will receive a refund of the personal payments they have made. The refunds will be as follows: within the first 3 months of their membership-year 75% of the price they paid for individual membership will be refunded; within the first 6 months, 50%; within 9 months, 25%; within months 10-12 no refund will be made

The same formula will be applied to those that have paid by direct debit once the DD has been stopped. For those paying by monthly DD the mandate will simply be cancelled and no refund will be necessary.

The Group Membership Plan discount may not be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Examples of Group plans:

• An individual 11-19 membership costs £84 and for a technician £34.
• 4 Individual 11-19 memberships would normally cost 4 x £84 = £336. With the new Group Plan this will fall to £266 – a saving of £67.
• Six 11-19 Memberships would cost £504 but with the 20% discount will now cost only £403.
• A ten-teacher Group Plan now offers a potential saving of £168. Add in 5 technician memberships to the Group and the total cost is only £808 instead of £1010.
