The more people subscribe the better, the monthly subscription could go down or we may decide to expand the network coverage or help disadvantaged members of the community get connected with discount equipment / subscription. Remember this is not for profit so the money SVW generates, goes right back into the club.

How to pay

Payment maybe made by cash, cheque, standing order (preferred).
