Under the current arrangements, supporters have joined the Trust within a set membership cycle of two years, which starts and ends on the same date for all members, regardless of when they joined. The current membership cycle is due to end on 31 January.

We recognise that the current arrangements may prejudice those who join later in a membership cycle. The Trust board has taken the decision to simplify our membership process and invest in new software to automate everything so we can cope with membership ending at different times. Supporters will now become members for a full one-year period from when they join, rather than having to fit in with a fixed membership cycle. This is line with the majority of supporters’ trusts across the UK.

The cost of membership will be an annual amount of £10 for adults and £2 for under 18s (who do not have membership voting rights). We are also pleased to announce that we will introduce a new rate of £5 for concessions (seniors 60+, full-time students and unemployed).

In order to make the move to the new system as smooth as possible, for this year only we’ve set up special renewal arrangements. These are explained below, which one applies depends on when you joined the Trust.

If you joined the Trust before 30 June 2015

For those who joined before the Trust AGM on 30 June, simply go here to renew your membership. As we are moving to a new system you will be asked to enter a few details, but this will only be necessary once as the system should be automated for future years.

To help with transitioning to the new system, we’ve extended your membership so it will not expire until the end of February. However, all members who renew by end of Sunday 14th February will be entered into a prize draw to win two tickets for the boardroom for a game later in the season (including complementary snacks and alcoholic drinks after the game).

It will be easier for most to renew on our website, which also helps us to automate the process better. However, you can still join manually at our Mega-Shed on any match day.

When joining, there is also an option to make a further donation to the Trust to further help support our objectives. If you are able to do so, then this would be very welcome and helps to expand the work of the trust.

Please note, a different account and email address is required for each member (including children). If you are joining on the behalf of someone else, then please create a new account using a different email address.

If you joined the Trust on or after 30 June 2015
For those who joined at the Trust AGM on 30 June or after that date, you can relax for now. We have automatically extended your membership for a full year period from the date that you joined. So for example, if you joined on 1 September 2015 your membership will expire on 31 August 2016. You should receive an email to confirm this, please let us know if you don’t receive this. We will also email you when your membership is due to expire.

If you don’t know when your membership expires

Drop us an email on info@dhst.org.uk and we’ll let you know.
