YEOMEN MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY
All past prize-winners of the Company, who were in further or higher education or in work at the time of winning their prize, are welcome to join the Company as Yeomen. Membership is free for the first 12 months, and £25 per annum thereafter.
The Company hopes that many of those eligible will choose to strengthen their links with the Company in this way, and may in due course become Freemen and then Liverymen (full members of the Company).
The benefits for Yeomen
Yeomen are invited to apply to attend one of the Company’s Dinners each year. We would particularly encourage Yeomen to attend the May or Christmas Dinners, which several new prize-winners attend for presentation of their certificates and/or display their prize-winning work. Yeomen may each bring a guest. Standard attendance costs, the same as for our Liverymen, apply (with a reduction for those in full-time education).
Yeomen will receive the electronic version of our annual newsletter, The Lanthorn, and occasional other appropriate news by email.
Yeomen will receive invitations to various online talks throughout the year, and a social event specifically for Yeomen is also in the pipeline.
While in full-time education, as a Yeoman you will have the chance to apply for a travel scholarship to attend an education-related conference or similar.
Yeomen are invited to keep us informed as their careers progress, for possible mention in The Lanthorn or other news circulated to our members.
