Personal data: I/we consent to the Society holding and using the personal data on this form digitally and in hard copy for record-keeping and BDHS circulations only. The BDHS Personal Data Scheme is on the website. Delete if not applicable: Gift Aid. The Society gains significantly because most members authorise it to reclaim the basic rate tax from the Inland Revenue through Gift Aid. So I would like the Battle and District Historical Society (Reg Charity 292593) to treat all my subscriptions and donations as Gift Aid until further notice- no cost to me. I pay tax at least equal to the amount the Society will reclaim for me.
