On receipt of your completed form the contact details you have given will be entered onto the the DOS secure database. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by contacting the Membership Secretary.

For any questions concerning your membership please contact the Membership Secretary here

Please note there are certain essential membership management issues (for example problems with payment of subscriptions, renewal reminders, etc) to which GDPR does not apply, it being concerned with unsolicited marketing communications, and regarding which we may need to contact members. This will normally be from the the DOS Membership Secretary and by email, as this is the most efficient and economical means of communication for the DOS. You can also unsubscribe from the the DOS Newsletter or the the DOS Annual Bird Report at any time by informing the Membership Secretary by email or post that you wish to do so.
