Interaction Revises Attending Membership Rates

For immediate release: Monday 29 March 2004
Interaction Revises Attending Membership Rates
Interaction, the 63rd World Science Fiction Convention, will revise its
membership rates in selected currencies with effect from 1st June 2004.
Whilst rates are being left unchanged wherever possible, the continuing
weakness of the US$ and some other currencies against the UK Pound has
necessitated this change to ensure that membership rate parity is
maintained from country to country.
This change will impact New Attending Membership rates and Supporting
to Attending Upgrade rates in the USA, Canada, Norway and Poland. There
will be no changes in Supporting, Child or Infant rates. The new Attending
Membership rates in the affected countries will be:
- USA - US$170 (currently US$155)
- Canada - CDN$235 (currently CDN$225)
- Norway - 1220 NOK (currently 1160 NOK)
- Poland - 680 PLN (currently 630 PLN)
Supporting to Attending Upgrades will continue to be based on the
difference between New Supporting and New Attending rates.
Your existing membership status can be determined online (unless you
have asked for your name to be withheld from our web listing) at:
http://www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/members.htm
Interaction Memberships are available for immediate purchase at various
conventions, through our web site, and via postal mail. Memberships can
also be purchased by instalment plan, allowing membership costs to be
spread over a period of up to 12 months. Information on all registration
and payment options, along with membership rates in a range of additional
currencies, is available from
Interaction's website.
Summary of New Rates from 1st June 2004
| New Attending | $170 / £95 / EUR 145
(currently $155 / £95 / EUR 145) |
