Leaving BCS

We are aware that some BCS members terminate their membership on retirement. If that applies to you, you might want to consider retired rate membership or life membership.

But if you still want to leave, but you’d like to continue as a member of the Computer Conservation Society then you can re-join by following the instructions for non-members of the BCS on the right.

If you were a BCS member for more than five years and are over 60 you MAY be entitled to continue to receive Resurrection, our journal, without charge. Visit www.computerconservationsociety.org/resurrection.htm for full details.
