Online Payment

Payment is via Paypal; Paypal should automatically convert your currency. You do not need a pre-existing Paypal account to use the site; but you will need to create a PayPal account in order to make the payment - PayPal now requires this because of anti-money-laundering legislation. If you're in a territory not supported by Paypal, contact the Membership secretary using the form on the Contacts page and we'll try and work something out.

Buying by Post

If you don't want to buy the products online, please download the postal sales form. A third option (to using this cart, or to using the postal service) is to just go to Paypal and use the "Send Funds" function there to wire payments directly to membership AT soa.org.uk (replace the AT with an @); this may be helpful if you want to use the online service but are having problems with it.

Family Memberships

Family Memberships are memberships which provide all the benefits of membership except for a Slingshot subscription (e.g. a membership number, vendor discounts, forums access). They are available to individuals living at the same address as a full (Slingshot subscribing) Society member. They were previously made available on a chargeable basis. They are now free. To ask for a family membership, please submit your request via the contact form, setting the Topic to "Family Memberships" if it is not already that.

Worldwide Postage

Your membership subscription includes the Slingshot postage price, worldwide (yes, the price is the same for everyone). Other items from the store are charged for postage at cost, which is calculated during your checkout process.

Privacy Notice

The Society of Ancients respects the privacy of its Members and only retains such personal data as is needed to meet its contractual obligations or for which it has a legitimate purpose.

Currently the Society stores addresses, email contact details, if provided, and a small amount of history (how many years an individual has been a member). A Member’s personal data is not shared with any other individual or organisation except as described below or with the Member’s permission, for example, to request contact with other Members.
The Society provides Members’ names and addresses to printers for mailing purposes to meet the Society’s contractual commitment to deliver Slingshot. The Society’s printers handle this data securely, destroy it after use and do not pass it to others.
Email addresses, where provided, are used for the legitimate purpose of communicating with Members.
Anonymised membership data is used by the Committee to inform certain of its decisions.
Members should contact the Membership Secretary in order to request details of the personal data held on them or to advise corrections, including change of address.
The Society retains details of former Members for the legitimate purpose of informing them of Society activities and new publications, typically by means of email several times per year. Any former Member who wishes to stop receiving such communications should contact the Membership Secretary who will delete his or her data.
