The site has now been updated to accept payment for your WFS 2024/25 annual subscriptions. The WFS committee took the decision in October 2024 to amend the annual subscription cycle, which now runs from 01 November to the 31 October the following year. This one-time change meant that existing members enjoyed 16 months of membership instead of 12 in the 2023/2024 cycle. Subscriptions for 2024/25 run from 1st November 2024 to 31st October 2025.

As with previous years, we offer three levels of paid subscription:

  • £17.50: UK Deluxe (printed & emailed pdf Waxbill magazine).
  • £15.00: UK (printed magazine option)
  • £10.00: UK or overseas (emailed pdf magazine)
  • Free:     Juniors under 18

This provides the option for UK members to subscribe at different rates dependent on whether they choose to receive The Waxbill magazine by email as a pdf file (£10.00), by post as a printed booklet (£15.00), or by post and email (£17.50). Overseas (non-UK) members will receive the magazine by email and pay the lower rate.

The Waxbill

Our magazine, The Waxbill, is issued quarterly to all members and contains articles and advice on all matters relating to the keeping and breeding of birds. As explained above, The Waxbill will be available in printed format by post, by email (in pdf), or both - dependent on the choice of subscription.

Paying by cheque

For members wishing to pay by cheque or postal order, you can download  a standard pdf  file here which you can print off and complete by hand. It also contains the details of where to send the completed copy and cheque.

  • Cheques and Postal Orders should be made payable to:
  • The Waxbill Finch Society
