HSOC Life Members
In the Society’s original Constitution, provision was made for Life Membership to be purchased (for five guineas). This was used occasionally in the early days of the Society but the Constitution has since been amended so that members who receive Life Membership since then have been awarded it for distinguished service. The first member to receive such an honorary Life Membership was Mr F Warren.
