In line with similar organisations, we have started a new program to encourage younger members to get involved in the OAS by offering them an Under 30 Free Subscription, which means they can access all areas of the website and participate in all the various OAS activities.
To offset this loss, we are seeking sponsorship from suitable individuals and organisations to allow the OAS to thrive and for a print version of the OAS Journal to continue to be produced.

- Rights to use the OAS logo on your website and in your publicity as an Official OAS Sponsor.
